batch is one instance of POV-Ray running the full ini file. Typically, if
POV-Ray per CPU core that you have available on your system. You lucky ones
separate directories.

// (3) Seconds between frames for final product.

Change every instance of "clock" in your pov scene file to "time" and you're
good to go. Each batch will create 100 bitmaps (in this example) and a batch
file (Rename.bat) that will rename the POV-Ray images to a naming convention
based on the actual seconds of the frame. That way the images can all be
dropped in a common folder and will order by their time in the film and thus
make life easier when combining into the video.
Good luck.
