Rendering menu > Batch Render > Click Render to render
tasks that do not have an output path set.
Rendering menu > Batch Render > Click Render to render
tasks that could overwrite previously saved files.
The Batch Render Warning dialog informs you
of certain conditions you may have ov erlooked
while assigning the rendering tasks. The dialog
that displays is context-sensitive, meaning that the
warning will i ndicate when either of these two
conditions exist:
• Whenyouriskoverwritinganexistingfileor
if you have not specified an output path and
output file name.
• When the output path that was sp e cified has

Inter face
Task Queue
Both formats of the Batch Render Warning dialog
includetheTaskQueuecolumnsthatareshownin
the in the Batch Render dialog. The key difference
is the exception of the check boxes that let you
specify which cameras are use in the render. This
Task Queue only shows the cameras that may
overwr ite a saved file, or do not have a path/file
name set for output, or if they show an output path
that is invalid.
Missing Out put Path/Filename or File Overwrite
This version of the Batch Render Warning dialog
appears if you click the Render button on the Batch
Render dialog and one or more of the tasks to
be rendered does not include an output path/file
name. The dialog also appears if there is a chance
you will overwrite a previously rendered image.
OK —Allows you to continue with the batch
rendering tasks even though there are some tasks
withoutanoutputpath/filenameorsomefiles
could be overwritten. Task s w ithout an output
path/file name are not automatically save d and
only appear in the
rendered frame window (page
3–5)
.
Can cel—Cancels the batch rendering.
Invalid Output Path
This version of the Batch Render Warning dialog
only appears if you are rendering to a file that
has invalid output paths. For example, if you’re
rendering a client’s model and they’ve set their
own output paths.
Update Path—Allows you to browse to a new
directory and reassign the output path for all the
entries in the Task Queue. The specified output
file name remains the same.
