Command-Line Options group For external programs that accept command-line options, lets you send real-time data to the external program. 3ds Max parses three special commands. When found in a string, these commands are replaced with real-time data, as follows: ■ %f is replaced with a 4-digit frame number (for example, 0001) ■ %w is replaced with a 4-digit image width (for example, 0640) ■ %h is replaced with a 4-digit image height (for example, 0480) For example, if the given command-line option is: -w%w -h%h -oframe%f.tga The string sent to the external program might be: -w0640 -h0480 -oframe0001.tga Write image to clipboard When on, writes the current rendered image to the Windows clipboard for retrieval by an external application. Read image from clipboard When on, reads the contents of the Windows clipboard after processing by the external application. When the processed image is saved to the clipboard, it automatically appears in Video Post. With an automated script, it is possible to run the image through any external image processor and get it back automatically. Video Post Parameters group VP Start Time/End Time Set the starting and ending frames for the selected event within the overall Video Post queue. Video Post renders the event over the number of frames specified here. Enabled Enables or disables the event. When turned off, the event is disabled and Video Post ignores it when rendering the queue. Each event must be disabled individually. For example, disabling a composite layer event does not disable the composited image events. The range bars of disabled events are unavailable in the event track area.
