Movie Render Queue - Render All Cameras (fails for EXR)

In MRQ, can add the Camera setting, and enable “all cameras”.

This works as intended for some output formats (e.g. JPG image sequence).

BUT - when I choose EXR the output only includes those frames that are within the cut scene, as opposed to all frames from that camera within the render range…

How can I make it work for EXR as it does for JPG ?

Are you able to elaborate a bit more? So you are getting separate renders for each camera, but they have differing frame durations?

Thank you for engaging here Shaun. I’ll get detailed :wink:

For this discussion, presume that all cameras are at some stage referenced in the camera cuts, and that the cameras cut spans 300 frames total. And, presume Cam 1 is in the cut scene for frames 1-100, Cam 2 is in the cut scene for frames 101 -200, and Cam 3 for frames 201 - 300.

When I select render with all cameras, and choose JPG output, all 300 frames are rendered for each of the cameras referenced in that cut scene… In other words, I render 300 frames for each of the three cameras. Just as intended.

When I select render with all cameras, and instead choose EXR output, only those frames found within the cut scene are rendered. So with EXR output chosen I get Cam 1 EXR only for frames 1-100, Cam 2 EXR only for frames 101-200, and Cam 3 EXR only for frames 201-300.

With EXR, it’s as if it simply ignores the all cameras (though having set the output file name to included {camera_name}, I do get three sequences as noted above.

It’s simple to recreate.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the info! Is this working all in one shot where you are switching the cameras in the camera cuts track or does this span multiple level sequence shots? Are you able to snapshot your sequencer for me? And what version are you in? I just tried it this way and it works for me. All the layers output into the multichannel exr.
