Thanks for both methods.
The script works well and is tres elegant. And the other method is good for when I've done test renders anyway.


You've saved me hours of render time, so thanks heaps to all.

or you could just set skip frames on and it'll only render the missing frames.

    I wrote a little script for this. I could improve it soon as I'm
    more comfortable now with scripting but it works :

        Is it at all possible to specify broken frame ranges when
        rendering?

        I mean if I have a scene where frames 36-42 are the same (but
        taking
        ages to render) can I set it to render frames 1-35,43-100?

        I'm in the middle of a very slow render and it's torture watching
        identical frames chew up the time. It's a very long scene with
        lots of
        duplicate frames sprinkled throughout I don't wanna sit up all
        night
        kicking off the individual renders...

        I guess it's too much to ask that the software might be able
        to detect
        identical frames and skip them? I'd be happy to plug them in
        manually,
        but how and where?

        Cheers
