What this is telling deadline is to render frames 1-150 every 10 frames then render the remaining 1-150 frames
Click Ok

Click on “Modify Frame range” again. You should see the “Frame List’ listing your new frames like this
Click “Ok”
Step 4 OPTIONAL way to NOT waste render time
- Under the Task panel for your job
- Select all the frames that are not part of your first x10
- Suspend them. This way you can check your frist x10’s before rendering them all out.
