The Add Render Node dialog allows you to manually enter a Render Node name or IP address to locate it on the subnet.
In the Add Render Node dialog that opens, enter the name or the IP address of the remote Render node. The Render Manager will attempt to resolve names into IP addresses and IP addresses into names automatically. You can use this method to add Render nodes to the list when they are not currently available on the network.
Removing Render Nodes
To remove a computer from the Render node list, right-click over the Render node in the Render node list and choose Remove Render node(s) from the pop-up menu. You can use Command on macOS or Ctrl on Windows and Linux to select multiple Render nodes for removal.
Loading and Saving Render Node Lists
The list of Render nodes is automatically saved in the Documents > Blackmagic Design > Fusion > Queue folder when you quit the Render Manager. You can save and reload alternative lists of Render nodes by choosing Render node > Save Render node List and Load Render node list from the menu.
Submitting Comps to Network Render
To submit a comp to render on the network, you can use the Render Manager, the Render Settings dialog, or a third-party render farm application. The Render Settings dialog is quicker, while the Render Manager and third-party render farm applications can provide more feedback and control over the process.
