DrunkenMonkey Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Hi I have set up a network and connected seven machines. They can all read each other fine and connect no problem. When i did a test render of 50 frames as jpegs each machine was assigned a seperate frame and they all appeared in the destination folder fine. The problem is when i try to save as an animated file such as an avi file only one machine does all the work and the others remain idle. How do i get the other machines to 'get busy' and render seperate frames that then come together as one completed avi file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMonkey Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 no worries worked it out, you cant render an avi file to multiple machines you can only do image files and compile them together in post video. doh!!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatino Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Are you sure this can happen, why don't you save it as a sequence of images and then make an avi file. Even if it can happen, making an avi file directly could sometimes be a disaster if something wrong happes in the mean time and the mashine stops for example.. (it has happen and everything was lost..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Johnston Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 If you going to render out stills and then compile them into an avi later don't use Jpeg's, they are already compressed, you want to use Tiff's or Tga's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugga_Guy Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Listen to Maxer.. One should never render an animation in avi. If the comp crashes, you loose everything, and you have no raw file to control the quality for final output. I would rather render out jpgs then avi's.
