Aug 22, 2010 12:03 PM in response to Trancepriestby stuckfootage,Although you could duplicate your FileIn-Keylight-Fileout node chain and
render all of the FileOuts at once, the problem is that each clip is
probably a different length, but the rendering timeRange is global.
So you would have to set the timeRange to the longest clip, and end
up with many clips with lots of black frames. I guess that would work,
but it would waste storage.
I think most people make a separate script for each file. An easy way to do
this is to open a script in a text editor, change input file and output file
names, and set the proper time range. You can then batch render all the scripts
at once using Qmaster.
Two years ago I came up with a workflow using bash to create the scripts
automatically for a folder of clips:

export them as one file,
pull the key in Shake,
import the keyed file into FCP,
and cut it up according to the edits of the original clips.
That technique would use up some storage, but might be faster.
