I'll have a look at AppleScript as a possible interim solution, but I really wanted to have it bundled into the Rush submit with a dialogue to add text to variables set up in my Shake script for slate notes etc.  I could give them a custom slate node to avoid this though, hmmm...

We're doing 50-100 qts a day here, not sure if that's classed as a lot, but it sure would be better than doing them manually!

Will keep working on it

Thanks

frames have been rendered in Shake using Rush

Since RUSH can only allocate one machine to render a QuickTime from an image sequence, you could submit a follow up Rush job that waits for the first to finish. The QuickTime will be made at the end of the frame rendering.

We wrap our custom Shake scripts in AppleScript and drag/drop the finished frames folder onto the appropriate tool to make our QuickTimes. That works for most cases. However, if you're processing a lot of QTs something more automated may be appropriate.
