Re: 6.x rendermanager

[Chris Marshall <chris(at)eclipsecreative.co.uk>]

but it's the output path issue that we've discussed to death that's the main problem.
I can see the rest of the changes would be useful to a lot of users, though personally I'm not happy using tokens.

I’ve nothing but good to say about the way this works. I had to drop back to 5.11 on one job and the difference in the amount of time it took me to set up for rendering doesn’t even bear thinking about. I just love it.

 

Are you using the tokens for your output paths Morten? That’s a good place to start making life easier.

This is my first production with 6.0x rendering and I just have to get it off my chest - it just sucks how messy it is now! I can see the virtues of the global stuff but damn it is hard to make sure I render with a specific filename per pass, padding and specific output path >:/

 

I remember the long thread about this back when 6. was released and I guess I have to second those that said it was a serious UI regression!
