(Free Addon) Batch Frame Render

Batch Frame Render

While working on a production project, I often needed to render only a few specific frames to check lighting, materials, animations, and simulations. Rendering the entire animation every time was slow and wasted a lot of time.

I also frequently needed to render in-between frames to verify motion quality without waiting for a full sequence. After repeating this workflow many times, I realized Blender didn’t have a simple tool for this exact task.

With some help from AI, I developed Batch Frame Render to make this process faster and more convenient.

Features

  • Render only the frames you need
  • Support for custom frame lists (1, 5, 10-20, etc.)
  • Render from animation keyframes
  • Render from timeline markers
  • Render every Nth frame
  • Override resolution, samples, and output format
  • Batch rendering without changing your existing scene settings
  • Simple and clean user interface

This addon is designed for artists who regularly test renders during production and want to save both rendering time and computer resources.

I welcome feedback, suggestions, and feature requests from the Blender community.
