Qmaster rendering several frames at once

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there’s a way to get Qmaster to run AE like it does Nuke, Maya, and almost everything else – what I mean is that I want it to be able to run several instances of aerender and render several frames at once.

Maybe it’s something in my settings for Qmaster, but if someone has a fix I’d be very grateful. So far Qmaster is acting like a glorified Render Que and only rendering one frame at a time. I feel like it can be so much more, I just need a little help.

Any takers?

There is a screencap of the settings I’m using attached.

Node not updated on first frame

Hey Guys,

Is there a way to force a node to be (re)evaluated? I’m having some trouble getting the first frame of a batch to render correctly, yet each subsequent frame works fine.

We have a custom node on which setting one value changes another. After wrapping it in a gizmo and exposing both values it all seems fine until it goes to render and the result isn’t coming back until the frame changes. (Or at least that’s as far as I can figure out). Just wondered if anyone here had seen anything similar.

Cheers
Ian

Take a snapshot with nuke? anyone?

Hi All,
There was a 3rd party script that goes into After effects, and it allowed you to simply grab a single frame onto your clipboard. From there you could paste it into photoshop, etc..

Does anyone know if there is a gizmo, plugin, etc, that can do the same in Nuke?

So many times I need a single frame from a sequence, and have to "render" it out.
I was hoping for a 1 click wonder.:D
Thanks,
Lou
