Re: Render a single frame without frame number in file name
I suspect Raff is correct as you used to have to put in the frame token, which now I looked because of your question has gone! S.

Just wanted to make sure that there is indeed no way to set it up using SI options. I added file renaming to the script, and that works nicely.

Render a single frame without frame number in file name
Hi list, Is there a way to set up a pass such that the rendered file does not contain the frame number? I want my file to be called filename.png, not filename.1.png. Thank you Christian

Re: Render a single frame without frame number in file name
Here's a post render frame script I use to make Proxies of my renders to speed things up when I've got heavy comping jobs. All the bits are in there for a simple rename if you know a bit of scripting, you just need a little read up on creating an Event.

Re: Render a single frame without frame number in file name
Yes, I'm pretty sure there's no way around it...you always get a frame number. On 07/05/2013 6:09 AM, Raffaele Fragapane wrote: AFAIK it's not part of the tokenization.
