Subject: add frames problem
   Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 20:37:45 -0400

I type the following in the field: 34

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks.

If you have batching enabled for a job, each frame in rush will
be interpreted as a batch.

There's no way around that; rush can't know that the intention
is to render a single frame instead of a batch when batching is
enabled.

The add frames button in iRush does not seem to work as it explains in the help.

I type the following in the field: 34

and click "Add". This should just add one frame to the que, frame 34. It does add frame 34, but it renders 34-38. This seems to be because its using the batch size which was set to 5 when i submited the job originaly.

NOTE: Batch Clip is "yes" which works... i had a job that was 1-24 batch 5 and it correctly rendered 1-24 only.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

it could be something like:
1 10 20 (would mean add frames 1, 10 and 20; batch of 1)
1-10 (would mean add frames 1-10; batch of original job setting, say 5)
1-10,2 (would mean add frames 1-10; batch 2)

just a thought.

Is there a way to have the add and remove frame buttons check to see if a single frame or frames are added to then change the batch to 1?

	No, not the way it's implemented; the logic for batching is
	implemented in the script, not in rush, and the batching amount
	is global to the job, so it's an "all or nothing" kind of thing.

	Within a single job, there's not a way to say "these frames are batched,
	and the frames aren't". The entire job is either batched, or it's not.

	I think if you look at how batching is implemented in this example,
	you'll understand what I mean:
	http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/rush/rush-techniques.html#Batching%20Multiple%20Frames

it could be something like:
1 10 20 (would mean add frames 1, 10 and 20; batch of 1)
1-10 (would mean add frames 1-10; batch of original job setting, say 5)

	When you 'add frames' in irush, you're adding frames directly
	to the framelist. This bypasses the batching logic of the script.

	So adding 1-10 in irush adds frames 1,2,3,4..9,10 to the frame list,
	and each frame will start a batch of 10, such that frames will overwrite
	each other.

	To do what you want, batching would have to be implemented native
	into rush itself, something that's on the to-do list.

	Once implemented that way, then the logic could be removed from the script,
	and you could add some frames batched, some single frames.

	Until then, you'd have to submit a different job to render just
	those single frames.

	Either that, or you can use 'Job Edit' to change the batching value in the "Command:"
	from eg. '5' to '1'.. then the frames you add will be interpreted as single frames
	instead of batches. (The batching value will be one of the many positional arguments
	on the command line.)
