    For V-Ray 6 and earlier, the frame range, the aspect ratio, and the resolution are the same for all submitted cameras in one job.

    If you want to render different cameras with different options, e.g. different frame range, different aspect ratio, or different resolution, clone the job and render only the needed cameras with the corresponding options.

  3. A job with selected multiple cameras has several frames, each corresponding to a respective camera.

    If the job is an animation, the frames are equal to the number of frames multiplied by the number of the selected cameras. The animation job has a video preview as well.
