rendering multiple file-out's with different duration

[Hugh]

Nope - 'fraid not....

All I can suggest is writing a python (or equivalent) script to, for each FileOut, ignore all the other FileOuts, and then set off a render with the correct time range.

i think you can do it in the command line using -t and specifiying the fileout node -n the command line

i'm on 4.0 osx here and i don't know if it applies to the windows version

I managed to do that with commandline like:
shake -exec sceneName.shk -render out1 1-10 -render out2 1-15 etc.....
Got this hint on vfxtalk:
to enter this in fileOut image name:
/folder/another_folder/movie/shot/filename.1-140@.tif
This works, but every fileOut is rendered in whole range and only 1-140 is being writen on disk,which is not very good solution...

[pixel mixer]

just make a batch file
shake -v -fo "fileoutname1" -t 25-50 -exec blabla.shk
shake -v -fo "fileoutname2" -t 22-90 -exec blabla.shk

save that as a batch file and in the terminal window just execute it using:
sh ./mybatch

or chmod 755 ./mybatch
and then
./mybatch

this should work

Thanx Mixer...your solution is lot easier to read and change later....
