I have a question about the way C4d keeps track of the frames it is rendering.

I have to preface this by saying that I am working on a project that I had initially started working on at 30fps, and switched to 24fps in Output>Frame Rate.

I have a big scene I’m rendering, so I render it in chunks.  I just rendered 119 frames, and stopped the renderer so I can work on something else.
Now I want to change the start point of my next render to start at 119 frames.

What happens if I do that is that under the “fields” drop down menu, it tells me it is going to be rendering from frame 95 to 480, not from frame 119 to 480.
(see image)

Why is that?  Could it be related to me changing the FPS in the middle of the project?

Thanks

Hi Alex,

As it starts with frame zero, the 95 and 119 equals a total 96 and 120 frames [96/24=120/30].

The simplest way to see that is in my image below. With those 10:1 numbers or 30fps vs 3fps I hope it becomes more transparent.
The project here was on 30fps, the render settings then on 3fps

All the best

-EDIT- It just came through——Thanks Sassi, I’m looking for your image, but I don’t see it?

(Sorry, I use always the fast reply, which has no option for attachment, so I have to edit “all” the time ;o)

I guess you render in image sequences, which means the numbers in each frame/image should give you some confidence.

You’re welcome.
