[Closed] Post-Render script…

And you use this as a post render script with netrendering?

No, I run this in my rendering utility (basically a wrapper and auto-setup for useful animation rendering things) after I render out frames and composite them together (can render from multiple views). We don’t do any post or net rendering (we are in games). But I think the idea would be the same?

I will give it a try. Thanks

Ok finally done. I ended up using the dependancy script written by Johan Boekhoven mentioned in a previous thread. I just modified it to work with ffmpeg. It is now a 1 button press to an FLV on are render farm. Here is the script.
