Output multiple file types from one render.

Happy New Year!

I want to write a script that outputs multiple files from one render and saves into one or more folders. For example:

I select a rendered image sequence from the picture viewer. Click my script that has multiple options to save multiple versions of the render.
-One .mov at square aspect resolution
-...add different resolution/aspect ratios etc.
-one .mpg at square aspect resolution
-....add different resolution/aspect ratios etc.
-one still image
-....add different resolution/aspect ratios etc.

I see this dialogue but I want to somehow batch perform these operations. Any ideas how I might implement this with python?

Hi sadly this is not possible in the Python or C++ API.
The only way would be to re-render each time with different render data.

Cheers,
Maxime.

I see. Re-rendering with each screen resolution would be highly cumbersome. It would be great to have a tool that works like this in Cinema. With soooo many different screen resolutions these days it would really come in handy.

The API does appear to have movie saving features. https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.bitmaps/MovieSaver/index.html
