Render different portions of a project in the render queue, is it possible?
After Effects has a very handy script called Render Queue which allows to set different portions of the same comp to render after one another by just setting the in and out points of each section, for example frames 100-245, 357-510, etc.
That can actually be done without a script but it’s quicker using it.
Anyway, Is there anything similar in C4D? I rendered a sequence using Team Render and the tracking/kerning came out different on several frames, making them unusable. I now have to re render the faulty frames using only one machine, but since they are not continuous I would like to set each section separately on the render queue to work overnight instead of having to wait for the first section to finish and then set the next ones.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi David,
Yes this is possible in C4D using the render queue and the take system.
What I generally do is set up different render settings and different takes to render multiple text elements.
For example if I have 5 text elements, and I want them each to be rendered to a separate file, I’ll use the render settings to set the time (ie 1 element will be rendered from frames 40 – 100 while another might be rendered from frames 20 – 50). So render settings 1 will go from 40-100 with take 1, and render settings 2 will go from 20-50 with take 2. In the take system, I’d have take 1 be text element 1, and take 2 be text element 2. You can then add the scene to the render queue, and select the render settings and take you want to use. Then , duplicate the scene or add it again, and change the rs and takes. Then let them go. The second render will start once the first one ends. Hopefully that’s what you’re looking for.Mike
