1.1 Frame List

The frame list option allows for inclusion of specific frames within a render job. This feature available for all jobs that are submitted from the CUI, Streamer and any of the command line tools.

The frame list field contains individual animation frame numbers, range of frame numbers and special characters to determine how to segment the frames within slices.

Example: 2:5,7:10,11,14-17,20-40,56:60

In the example above, frames 2 thru 5, 7 thru 10, 11, 14 thru 17, 20 thru 40 and 56 thru 60 are submitted with the job.

Note how the “:” character and individual frame numbers specify that those frames should be applied to a single slice (ie: one frame per slice) while the “-” character signifies that “all” frames should be within a single slice (multiple frames per slice).

Here’s an example the shows how to set the frameList parameter for a command line job:

> sqn --netVerTest --frameList 2:5,7:10,11,14-17,20-40,56:60

sqn --jobId #55685 --jobSliceShow
