I might have forgotten this, but…

I’m on a job with a naming convention that calls for 8 digits in frame padding. Can Cinema do more than a 4-pad?

Hi govinda,

The maximum frames the Timeline can be set to is 2592000.
So one couldn’t even produce these numbers, to begin with.

How to get the numbers you need? I assume that the rendering will not exceed a four-digit frame count.
Set the name of the file to (example) “production_take_version_0000,” And set the naming (Render-settings> Output> Name) to a format of your liking.

The result should be then production_take_version_0000_1234 or production_take_version_0000.1234

You might check with the support if there is a quick way to write the “$token” for you with an eight-digit number.
