Configure and submit a job

The main panel holds the settings that belong to the render job. Your Blender scene still controls the render engine, samples, resolution, camera, view layers, and color management. With Scene Image Format selected, the scene also controls the output format.

*Everything a job needs, top to bottom: where it goes, what to render, how to schedule it, and what to write.*

• Annotation 1: Project and job name

• Annotation 2: Frame range and render pattern

• Annotation 3: Image format

• Annotation 4: Submit a still or the animation

• Annotation 5: Optional automatic frame download

Name and project

• Project determines where the job appears and, for PROJECT uploads, where reusable files are synchronized.
• Use File Name derives the job name from the saved .blend filename.
• Disable it to enter a custom name that is easier to distinguish in the job list.

Frame range

Use Scene Frame Range uses Blender's scene start, end, and step. Disable it to enter a custom start, end, and stepping value for this submission.

Submit Still

Opens a small frame picker. Choose the current frame or enter a specific frame. This is the best way to test a representative production frame before an animation.

Submit Animation

Submits the configured scene or custom range. Confirm the frame step: a step of 2 renders every other frame. It does not just change the order.

Render pattern

Render pattern changes the order of frames, not the frame range or image quality. For example, coarse-to-fine scheduling renders early, middle, and late frames first, then fills the gaps.

Image format

Video output is not supported

If the effective format is a video container, the add-on disables both submit buttons. Render an image sequence and encode the video afterward.

What happens after you click Submit

Validate

The add-on verifies that the file is saved, the account is connected, a project is selected, and the chosen output is supported.

Trace

The external worker discovers dependencies and evaluates the selected upload mode and add-ons.

Package or synchronize

ZIP builds a self-contained archive. PROJECT maps eligible files beneath its root and determines what changed.

Upload

The worker uploads the required data. The terminal shows the progress.

Register

Only after preparation and upload does the worker create the render job. The job can then appear in Blender and the web app.

These stages play out in a separate terminal window that opens on submit.

*The submission terminal during upload. Reading the whole transcript, stage by stage, is covered in its own guide.*

You can keep using Blender while the submission worker runs. Do not move, rename, or replace source files while the worker reads them. Progress appears in the terminal window, not in Blender. Read the submission terminal explains every stage, the trace table, and error handling.

Before a large animation

• Render a representative frame locally with the intended camera, engine, view layer, and output nodes.
• Submit that frame as a Superluminal still and download the full output.
• Check linked libraries, caches, textures, fonts, color transforms, and render-time add-ons.
• Confirm the organization balance and capacity in Billing.
• Confirm the exact animation range, step, output format, and Blender version.

• Upload settings: Choose between a self-contained ZIP and incremental PROJECT upload.
• Add-ons and dependencies: Understand what tracing can include and what needs manual attention.
• Follow the job: Use Manage & Download after the job registers.
