Flipbook in Shake
Hey All,
when rendering a FileOut node in Shake, the flipbook that pops up is half the size of the file being rendered out. I would like it to match whatever FileOut frame size is, but can't seem to figure out how.
I find it important to watch what is being rendered out in case I need to stop it and make a change instead of waiting for the whole thing to finish and then discovering something small needs changing ... could be just me.
The regular flipbook always matches the selected node frame size, so that's OK.
Is there a line in the nrui or nreal file that needs to be changed?
Thanks!
Cheers, I.

Well this is what the flipbook is for, to preview before your final render of a project. Instead of rendering out your project to only see you need to make a change you should be doing full or 1/2 proxie renders through the flipbook for final checking. The small preview flipbook that opens when rendering a fileout node is more or less for show and not for checking because you should already be pleased with the output you are rendering. Only case is if your rendering out some seq's for ruff previs and even then you know and expect to have some things not up to par. But anycase this is what the flipbook is for and not the window when rendering a fileout node.

The render preview flipbook is supposed to 1/2 sie. It does not effect render oputput. It is more of a progress meter / render checker thing !
