3.1 fix PAR field render
1 messages in this thread
Well, not a fix, but a workaround, I think. Now before I get into this, let it
be known that I don't have 3.1, just 3.0, but I am 99% sure this will work for
outputting field rendered frames to a PAR.
You need ADPro (you all have that, right? Good…) and the Sentry utility that
comes with it. Set it up as follows:
Directory: Wherever IM31 will render its frames, for example,
DH0:IM30\MyProj.imp\p.pix
This is determined when you create a subproject, it's the "path for stills".
Delete Processed files = yes
Confirm before deleting = No
These are buttons in the sentry screen.
Include Pattern = pic.#?
This should get sentry to ignore the interim files when field rendering.
Now, Add a command (with the add button in sentry)
Command type = CLI
Command = copy
Arguments = $SENTRYFULLPATH to DDR:Target
or DDR: whatever your project is on the PAR. Note that $SENTRYFULLPATH should
be in all caps.
Don't forget to save your project. Accept it, and Sentry will wait for your
frames to be rendered.
I tested this with IM3.0, and it correctly ran, and I think it should work on
3.1 with field rendering.
