render 5 first frames on each jobs

Deadline
1

Hi,

I have a question about jobs priorities.

let’s say I send 10 jobs in the same time with same priority on deadline, I would like to know if it’s possible to tell deadline to render the 5 first frames on each job and then continue to render all jobs normally ?

thanks

You might be able to pull something like this off by submitting 2 jobs for each job. The first job would be the first 5 frames and would be set to the highest priority (100). The second job would be submitted with the remaining frames at normal priority. This way, the first 5 frames for each job are given priority, and then the remaining frames will saturate the farm once the initial 5 frames for each job finish.

You would probably want to wrap this in a custom submitter though.

Cheers,
