Is there any workflows or tips for rendering only missing frames. My farm dropped some frames. Also, I'm rendering with Karma. I don't really want to go to each frame mannually and render if there's a way I can set it up all at once and render what's missing. I think I stacked mantra nodes before to render different frames. I guess python to create karma nodes with frame ranges from a list that stacks and connects?

Thanks for any tips in advance.

I'd assume you can use TOPs probably ROP Karma TOP
I believe TOPs in default Automatic Cache Mode should cook only frames that don't have Output File on disk yet

I'm not 100% sure though, so you better test it first

alternatively you should be able to feed prefiltered single frame workitems to it

TOPs, yeah that's a really good thought. I really like "Automatic Cache Mode should cook only frames that don't have Output File on disk yet". I hope that works. I'll look at that. Thank you!
