Is it possible to only render certain frames instead of a whole animation?
I have an animation and want to render specific frames as beauty shorts at a higher resolution.
Instead of rendering, waiting, saving one frame and doing that again for the next frames if would be nice if I could input to render frames 1,3,12 and let blender render and save only these frames.
I think you want this, the -f option.

Thanks for the fast reply!
I never used blender from the command line, are there GUI options?
I think there may be an addon, but not that I know of. The command line is not that complicated I think.
Maybe look here for an addon.
I looked intro command line rendering and it is indeed not difficult.
To render frame 1, 50, 100 I used this command:
blender -b file.blend -f 1 -f 50 -f 100
This is what is means:
<path_to_blender> -b <path_to_blendfile> -f <frame1> -f <frame2> -f <frame3>
Thanks for helping me out!
Hey, just had the opportunity to do this myself and thought you might be curious of my command line:
./blender -b /home/eric/Desktop/3d/2.93.0/decision-making-recent.blend -o //frames/decision-making/cam_base-#### -f 0000..0012,0041..0047,0075..0079
The … is the range and the comma separates the ranges.
Man, you’re going to love this video:
Hello Guys,
I tried the code but unfortunately, it did not work. This is the line of code I wrote.
COMMAND:
Please Help Me If You Can.
I’m trying to render out specific frames 48-50.
Thanks.
Maybe you didn’t add this?
-o,--render-output<path>Set the render path and file name. Use
//at the start of the path to render relative to the blend-file.
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/command_line/arguments.html#render-options
Your file path contains spaces so you should add " to the file path, like:
“\C:\Users…”.
Not sure if that will fix it.
