Submitting Batches With the Generic Render Command

You can use the Generic Render command in Apple Qmaster for the distributed
processing of projects from other frame-based rendering applications (such as After
Effects and LightWave). The plug-in dialog allows you to adjust parameters, and to add
more command-line options to each job.

To submit a batch of files for processing using the Generic Render command:

1

In the Apple Qmaster window, choose Generic Render from the pop-up menu, then
click the Add ( + ) button to add a job.

2

In the dialog that appears, enter the relevant information in the required and
optional fields.

The full command is
displayed here.
