I have a small problem, whenever I put the batched files in videodub the camera is way off, it cuts half the picture and looks like it just uses another angle than what i have chose, how do I fix this?

@HikaruNoIkaros

In your render settings, in the common tab, there's a setting for renderable cameras so just set that one to the camera you want to be rendering with.

I already had the setting on Camera1, I have tried in various ways now, when I render and open the batch files its totally fine, but when I put them inside virtualdub the camera changes. maybe it have somthing to do that I've put the settings on 1080p resulution?

@TheRecordandplay Hi you probably set your frames to be numbered like so name.ext.number VirtualDub does not like this naming convention it uses name.number.ext . Don't panic just use a bulk renamer (there are lots of them do a google search) to rename all the frames. Then you should be fine. Different applications like different naming conventions for file sequences so a bulk file renamer comes in very handy at times.
