ok what I want to do it take a 500 frame movie and make smaller movies useing alot of file outs.

like I want every 100 frames to be a small part of the movie. like download part one download part 2 ect ect from my web page.

so I have my node tree. and I click file out and set the frames to 1-100. and then click file out node again and click 101-201 but when I did that it changed the first one to that as well.

how can you do this? i even went as far as copying the whole script and doing it that way but it still did not work all the file outs read the same. :banghead:

I'll give a shot at it...I may be completely wrong. If that's the case, then I am an idiot and you should ignore everything I posted.. :shrug:

Try splitting the movie into separate nodes. If your movie is in one file, file in the movie and render it out in 500 targas. Then you can file in the frames you want...frames 1-100, then 101-200, etc. Put a file out node on each segment and voila! :thumbsup:

You can't specify a frame range for each fileOut. You can only specify it once per Shake script, in Globals.

Look in Shake documentation for command line controls. You can write a unix shell script that will execute multiple command line renders, and you can specify a different frame range and/or fileOut node for each render (the options are -t for time range and -node for which node to render).

just run the thing as a batch script.

(the options are -t for time range and -node for which node to render).for picking a fileOut it is "-render fileOutName"
