I am requesting a more user friendly batch rendering option, so that I could render out a batch of images rendered with one filter, where one (or more) of the exposed Settings options could be set to increase by one increment, then save the resulting image, increment again, save image again, rinse repeat.

This sort of functionality could be used to increase, for example, an offset amount, in order to create a sequence of images for use in animation.

I've wished for this feature for years, and every now and then I return here to scour the forums and updates for information about how to do this to no avail. Today I've spent hours trying to get the command prompt batch option to work, but the documentation is outdated and the file paths all needed updating and I still was unable to diagnose why it won't work.

Unfortunately the existing user-created solutions I have found for this don't appear to work for FF7 or Windows, and I would rather work directly in Filter Forge if at all possible anyway.

P.S. I was able to fix all the file path names and get the batch executable to create an image from the filter I designated, and save it to a location I designated, but I don't understand if there is any way for this method to increase the file name by one and run it again or set a range value for how many times to run. Apologies as I am not a programmer.

This is pretty simple and can be done outside FF. Let's assume the task is set to Image value="D:\1.jpg", Result path="D:\result.jpg", and your source files are stored in the C:\Source\ folder. Here is a crude Windows BAT script that will copy every file from the Source folder to D:\1.jpg and sequentially process it with the command-line renderer:

FOR %%i in ("C:\Source\*.jpg") do (
copy %%i D:\1.jpg
"%ProgramFiles%\Filter Forge 7\Bin\FFXCmdRenderer-x64.exe batch.xml"
copy D:\result.jpg C:\Source\%%i-result.jpg )
