I disagree - it is a problem... but I do agree that it is not *your* problem. I need to start coding the fabled background rendering scheduler at some point in time Architecturally, it will sit between kdenlive and piave and act as a proxy. It will take the scenelist provided by kdenlive, replace any bits that have been rendered already with their renderered counterparts, potentially chop it up into a number of smaller timelines and fire it out to as many instances of piave as makes sense. The tricky bit is making it seamless so that only advanced users who like fiddling with their setup need know it even exists as a separate application :-) Cheers, Jason -- Jason Wood Homepage : www.uchian.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
