hi chaps

all i need is a fast, speedy, simple answer (not a workaround) if possible please :)

i had a 1000 frame animation to render, but i want to render it from frame 1000 - 0. there is a specific reason for this i'll explain later if needs be, but thats what i need to do, start rendering at frame 1000 then 999 then 998 etc etc.

i'll be saving each frame as a jpg.

in the render settings under frame, it looks like i might need to change the preview range. how would i do that?

cheers guys

Hi,
sorry, not possible in CINEMA. You have to rename the files. Also better not use JPGs since they will have compression artefacts. Try using TIFF instead.

not possible??? arse!!!! never mind.

i use jpg's because i'm only rendering to 640x480 and at that resolution you'd never notice the difference.

thank you Srek :)

There are some video editing programs that can do the trick.
Import your rendered files 1-1000, revers them and export this to single jpgs.
