Description
Stay connected to your Unreal Engine Movie Render Queue jobs without sitting in front of the editor.
Discord Render Status is a Blueprint-based tool that sends live render updates straight to a Discord channel through a webhook.
It provides clear, customizable progress tracking, including:
Progress bar
Frame count: current frame vs. total frames
Samples per frame
Elapsed time
Estimated time remaining
Job name / sequence name
Final completion notification
The update frequency is fully adaptive:
Set an update interval in seconds.
If a frame renders faster than that interval, updates are sent on your chosen schedule.
If a frame takes longer than the interval, it updates automatically at frame completion.
This ensures your Discord channel always has the most accurate render status without hitting rate limits
