More info

Input frames can be set like in example: '1,3-5,10,7', so in this case following frames will be rendered: 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10.

Notes and practical advices:

• frames order is not important
• do not set too many frames to render at once (it can be time and memory consuming)
• after pressing "Render Frames" button please wait a little bit for the addon to start
• use "Esc" (keyboard button) to stop rendering on the current frame
• toggle system console (after render is finished) to see addon's raport with output paths, rendering times and saving times
• you can open the output folder to see the progress during rendering

Installing

• go to: Edit/Preferences/Add-ons and click 'Install Add-on'
• select the ZIP you downloaded and click button 'Install Add-on'
• enable the addon
• save preferences to keep addon enabled over multiple blender sessions

Installation note:

If the steps above don't work, try:

• download just the "render_selected_frames.py" file
  
• and save it into addons directory in your Blender path, for example into:
  C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.82\2.82\scripts\addons
• enable the addon in Blender's Edit/Preferences/Add-ons
