Render Motion file in Terminal

Can you render Motion files in terminal and if so how? Also I want to be able to have motion blur and float and frame blending. Anyone done this. Compressor is just waaayyy to slow when trying to make a batch with motion files.

Hi Patrick, No.
I'm looking for a way to render multiple Motion projects. The problems I've run into so far are,
in Motion "Export to Compressor" one file at a time then submit each Motion project as a batch. In this way I get the ability to chose rendering options like motion blur and float but it takes compressor forever to generate is preview and when you have 10, 11, 12 motion projects in there forget about it. I also found that Motion projects rendered from compressor come out darker then ones rendered in Motion.

If I just open a bunch of motion projects in compressor I get all the same problems but none of the options for motion blur etc.

At this point I don't see any good way of batch rendering Motion Projects.

When you use the terminal to render Shake scripts have you already set the render settings in the script and in the terminal just execute the script? Here might be an odd ball work-around how about importing Motion project in Shake, setup rendering settings, and then in terminal render script?
