I dont use vray with maya, im a vray with max user, but the frame stamp is likely In the same place....

 

In your render setup there should be a settings tab where you setup the dmc samper and distributed rendering, amoung other things... This tab also has a check box that turns on frame stamp and allows you to pick a font and a few other things. Untick this and the stamp will stop rendering in.

 

As to your renders that have them. Are they rendered into the image size? I always thought they were an added piece at the bottom. Maybe you could just crop them out without losing your final comp size.

problem is i cannot crop it is on da bottom of da image...it is so weird y da hell vray added da frame stamp to da rendered image?? i have no idea, it should be just a guide only...i am rendering passes also so this frame stamp is only on beauty pass images so that saves me...otherwise it was 19 hour render. thanks for da help

You can still "crop" it off the bottom. How are you comping it? In AE just make the comp size a little smaller in the vertical direction and move the position of the frames down until the stamp is no longer seen. PS is the same only instead of a comp size you just change the canvas size. I dont know how else you might be putting your animation together, but both these would work. You could also just scale the frames up a little but you would lose your sides and top too woth this method.

 

I also don't know why vray included this. I know people use it to compare settings side by side and have there rener times included and perhaps it could also help in some type of post work, knowing which frame you are lining up and what not.

 

I wouldnt rerender though. Even if you have never done it PS is a pretty easy animation comp tool. Just click where it says essentials and change it to motion or video and an animation timeline will appear. When you open your frames select image sequence before hitting okay and then the full animation will come into PS as a new layer. The rest works just like a still image.

 

Good luck.
