Multi Threaded vdenoise

[Sbrusse]

Hi guys,

I'm currently denoising a animation and although I'm using my GPUs, it take a LOT of time.
It's mainly due to the load and unload of the exrs (40-60 sec), the actual denoise is actually super fast (~7 sec).

If we look at the GPU usage it's something like this :


I'm using the great script from dabarti to send the denoise task through the "to send" windows shell.

So I was wondering if it's not possible to have multiple "to send" script, lets say 4 and send the animation 4 times to 4 different vdenoise.exe just with a different start up frame.
It seems that vdenoise has the option to do some frames intervals :

-frames=b0[-e0[,s0]]{;bn[-en[,sn]]} - specify the frames and/or frame intervals to process. bX is the start frame, eX is the end frame, and sX is the frame increment. If not specified, all frames in the sequence are processed.

Unfortunately I can't get it to work.
Could someone tell me what the exact syntax is to get the vdenoise do every 4th frame and start at a specific frame?

Thanks
Stan

The format should be

-frames=0-100,4

to start at frame 0 and do every 4th frame until frame 100. Respectively

-frames=1-101,4

will start at frame 1 and do every 4th frame etc.

Best regards,
Vlado

Works great,
Thanks Vlado!

Would be great to be able to do one "send to" shell command that opens those 4 cmds but hey, one thing at the time
