Render a range of frames?

Render a range of frames?

Is it possible to render a range of frames in an animation?

I’ve searched high and low to find an answer, and it seems like it’s not possible.

I’m asking here for a few reasons:
1. On the off chance I’ve missed the option.
2. To suggest it, if it’s not already a requested feature.
3. And to ensure there’s something of use in Google search results. :)

One hack I’ve come up with is to group all the slow to render objects in a scene, and set the group’s visible in renderer flag off for the frames you want to skip. It speeds things up, but is definitely a hack.

Suggestions welcome.
 
You have to fiddle with the slider below the timeline to set the interval. You can drag either / both ends to the required spot in the lime line.
 
Oh, wow! Thanks. I thought that was just for display purposes, but you’re right and it controls rendering as well. Good to know!
