layer manager might be the way to handle what he described, but render queue has a different meaning:
with a render queue you can decide to render:
from frame 1 to frame 100
from frame 300 to frame 500
Have a still of frame 1 in 4k
Have a still of frame 300 in 4k
Have from frame 100 to 700 of file "LoremIpsum.blend"
Have a still of frame 150 of file "LoremIpsum.blend"
