File Name Prefix – Specifies the file name of the rendered image and allows adding any prefixes or suffixes to it, including some special keywords. You can add predefined keywords by right-clicking in this field and choosing from the available options. For more information, see the File Name Prefix example below.

Note: New scenes saved with V-Ray will rely on users to specify the render layer keyword <Layer> when saving with an absolute path. If it is not explicitly specified, V-Ray will warn users that files may be overwritten as a result. Older V-Ray scenes rendering with an absolute path will warn users that they use a deprecated method of handling render layers where new folders are implicitly created for each render layer. To remove this warning, run the command vrayUpgradeToExplicitLayerToken(). This will update the file to the current method of handling render layers and automatically add the the _<Layer> keyword keyword to the file name.

Version label – Entered text will be used to replace the <Version> keyword in the File Name Prefix field.

Image Format – Specifies the file format in which the image(s) will be saved.

 Check out how to export exr (multichannel) and exr (deep) files at the same time, explained in the Exporting EXR and Deep EXR in One Render tutorial.

Don't save image (ignored in batch mode) – When enabled, the final image will not be saved automatically.

Output alpha channel to a separate file – When enabled, the alpha channel of the rendered image will be saved to a separate file.  

Don't save Alpha channel – When enabled, the Alpha channels will not be saved (ignored with multichannel exr and vrimg).

Don't save RGB channel – When enabled, the RGB channels will not be saved (ignored with multichannel exr and vrimg).

Save VFB color corrections to render elements - when enabled, allows the application of color corrections on auto-saved exports (vray/maya batch/std). Note that saving manually through the VFB, will this option does not apply the color correction to the export when saving manually. To do so, another option can be used in the VFB > File > Save VFB color corrections to render elements. Visit the V-Ray Frame Buffer page for more information.

Resumable rendering – If there is a resumable file existing for the current frame, the rendering will be resumed from it. Otherwise a new render will be started and resumable files will be saved. If the rendering is already complete, the frame will be skipped and the next one (if any) will be started. For more information on resumable rendering, see the Continue a render with Resumable Rendering tutorial.

Note: Resumable information is stored in additional .vrimg or .vrprog files if the output file location has not changed. Resuming a render with bucket sampling will use and create additional .vrimg files. Resuming a render with progressive sampling will use and create separate .vrprog (progressive resumable) files. For instance, if resumable rendering is enabled when rendering to a PNG file format using the progressive sampler, resumable information will be saved as a .vrprog file along with the output PNG.

Autosave interval (min) – Specifies an interval in minutes for saving resumable files during rendering. This parameter applies only to  Progressive sampling. A value of 0 disables autosaving during rendering and resumable files will be saved only at the end of the rendering.
