Rendering with Burn for Lustre

Burn for Lustre is no longer installed by default with Lustre. It has its own installer.

Burn for Lustre allows shots to be rendered using Linux servers set up on the network, speeding up the rendering process and freeing up the Lustre stations. On a 2K film project, for example, half-resolution versions could be rendered on the local workstation and 2K final versions rendered with Burn for Lustre. Or, when you are satisfied with the grade of a reel, use the render farm to render 1K or 2K versions of it. When rendering a multi-layer timeline, Burn only renders the flattened timeline. It does not take into account the Solo or Mute status, since these modes are not saved in the grade.

Files rendered using Burn for Lustre are stored in the same directories as those used for renders created using the Render Local menu. Render directories are set up in the Render / Burn menu.

To view and manage jobs sent to the render farm, use Backburner Manager and Backburner Monitor.
