Batch Render Script

RichardU wrote on 6/29/2015, 12:05 PM

The Batch Render script (Render Regions) produces files that are numbered [0], [1], etc. Of course they eventually get to [11], [12] etc. which means that they are not in alphabetical order. Is there any way to pad the numbers so they start with [00], [01], etc?

Thanks, Richard

Sure, if you care to tweak the script a bit.
You have to change format for printing file name or its part with region number

If your script makes region name like this:
String regionFilename = String.Format("{0}[{1}]{2}",
filename,
regionIndex.ToString(),
renderItem.Extension);

then you can tweak it to this:
String regionFilename = String.Format("{0}[{1:D2}]{2}",
filename,
regionIndex,
renderItem.Extension);

Changes are: added format specifier ":D2" and removed ".ToString()". If 2 chars is not enough, you can add ":D3" instead.

Format specifications for "Format" are described here:

I did post this awhile back. Allows you to quickly enter region titles, and have vegas batch render using the region name as the filename. With excel you can create the naming the way you want it quickly. Then Cut and paste the names into the region column, via edit details window.

I would of course prefer the batch renderer to use the names I chose for the "regions" as the basis for the file names. Did I miss something?
