I like the idea of this program, as it resolves my main issue with blender on a 16 thread CPU. However, currently I manually concatenate the files after the render phase.

I am on Arch Linux with everything currently up to date.

The issues so far that I encounter are as follows:

All of the files are placed in my home directory (instead of where the project is placed), and are not removed afterwards.
The automatic concat phase fails dramatically because of the previous issue.

Here is the output:

It looks like your machine has 16 logical processor(s). The default is to use half the number of logical processors reported by the system, with a max of 6.

Read from Blender file --
startFrame: 1
endFrame: 2838
outputDir: /home/andrew/BlenderEdits

Calculated these values for render --
frameLength: 2838
processCount: 16
processFrameCount: 177
remainderFrames: 6

Each process will render 177 frames, except the last will render an extra 6 frame(s).

You saved this much time by running this script instead of rendering directly from Blender's VSE:

It will output files wherever your project file is set up to output, so check and make sure you have an output directory. Let me know if you're still seeing a problem.
