Hi, When using aerender with the -i parameter to increment frames I've discovered it will name the files sequentially, rather than by the frame number: eg. aerender ... -i 5 File0001.tif frame 1 File0002.tif frame 6 File0003.tif frame 11 etc. Is it possible to change the behaviour for this? This leads me to a second question: is much time wasted skipping existing frames? My plan was to avoid machines having to skip frames by hvign them start on different frames and increment: eg Machine 1 :: -s 1 -i 3 Machine 2 :: -s 2 -i 3 Machine 3 :: -s 3 -i 3 So 3 evenly matched machines could run through the animation without ever 'bumping into' one another. If there would be any difference in overhead by avoiding checking for existing frames then I feel this method could be advantageous. I'd be interested to know if this would have any effect.
