Question

Any way to get a definite start and end frame values for a project?

So I have been scouring the API and there seems to be no way to extract the start and end frame values from the render settings.  Is this true?  All I've seen online are formulas that attempt to gather that information from time start and time duration.  I need the values so I can submit an aerender job to our render farm.

You're correct in saying that scripting doesn't have direct access to the start and end frame values from a render queue item. But it should be possible for a script to work out those values. Have you seen this post?

Yeah, that is exactly what I ended up doing.  Just seems kind of ridiculous that this information isn't easily accessible from a script API, especially considering that aerender can take these as arguments, and that the start and end frame does show up in both the render and time settings of the program.  Thanks for the feedback.
