    Use Preview Frames

    Tooltip - Submit high-priority preview frames for this job

    Info

     

    Enabling preview frames will create 2 jobs:

    • A primary dependent job with a higher priority that will render the selected frames
    first
    • first 
    and a
    • A secondary job with lower priority that will render the remaining frames
    • . This will return the selected frames faster so that you can
    troubleshoot
    • check the accuracy of your renders.

    Frame Numbers

    Tooltip - Preview frames list for the job. Leave blank to use default (1st, last, middle) frames (e.g 1,2,10)

    Info

    Choose the frames that you wish to render first. If left blank "Default" is selected which renders the default is to render the first frame, the last frame and the middle frame in that order. You can select the specific frames by adding comma separated frame numbers e.g 1,2,10,15,75, or a range with, e.g., 1-100x5 (1 to 100, every 5th frame)

    Preview Priority

    Tooltip - Preview Frame Priority

    Choose the priority for the primary preview job. This can be set by the site admin.

    Preview Subjobs

    Tooltip - Number of subjobs to use

    Choose the number of instances / subjobs for the preview frames

    Info

    Choose the instances/subjobs for the primary job.. By default, this is equal to the number of preview frames - that is, it will try to do all the preview frames at the same time.

    Note that when you submit a job with preview frames enabled, it will actually submit 2 jobs—one with the preview frames list at a higher priority, and another with the rest of the agenda, at the normal priority (as specified in the job's Priority field). You will get, consequently, 2 job IDs for the submission.
