no effect during an interactive session.
 Render Slider: This slider adjusts the number of frames that are rendered at
the same time.
 Simultaneous Branching: When checked, more than one branch of a node tree will be
rendered at the same time. If you are running low on memory, turn this off to increase
rendering performance.

The Network preferences are only available in Fusion Studio. These preferences are used to set
up and control network rendering in Fusion Studio. The majority of settings are found in the
Render Manager dialog.
The Network preferences.
Submit Network Render Compositions
In these fields, you enter the Master Name and IP address of the computer that will manage all
network renders sent from this machine. If a standalone render master is in use on the network,
these fields may be pre-filled and may not be editable. This is done to prevent multiple
unauthorized render masters from being created by each person in a facility.
To re-enable editing of the master name and IP, create the environment variable FUSION_NO_
MANAGER and set the value to True. Check your operating system user guide for how to create
environment variables.
