Batch House Preview Video Export from selected Viewpoints and for multiple sequences #2808

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am frequently updating videos of my sequences for review with others. I use the saved viewpoints feature to have repeatable camera exports. As it's a large show it requires several view exports to see everything clearly. Currently I have to select each view, size the viewport, and export one at a time for each sequence. If I make a model level change or movement I have to render every sequence over again.

Describe the solution you'd like An option for Batch Export that can export videos with settings for resolution, viewports to render, and sequences on disk to load and render.

Describe alternatives you've considered Automator and windows scripting to try and automate the process, it's possible but easy to misclick with the automation tools.

Additional context This would also be great for people wanted to export their whole show each year as previews.

I keep coming back to this post year after year, no progress eh? I wish we had a batch render all type button for previews. it's so cumbersome doing it this way one at a time.
