I have an animation sequence with some missing frames (ie, 3,4,5,7,8,9,11...) and I simply want to skip over those frames in AE rather than have a the color bars appear for those frames.
Is this possible? I have over 1000 frames so renaming them isn't an option.
Thanks.

it is not frames that are missing it is files.
do you still have the files?.If you do not then you are unfortunately screwed sorry :(
- chossy0
if the files are not necessary then you have to delete them from your timeline which will be a pain if you have loads and loads. When you dlete them you will have to close the 'black holes' aswell because they will basically replace the color bars with black.

Let me re-explain.
I rendered out an animation sequence from a 3D program. Some of the frames are corrupted, but because of time restrictions, I don't have time to re-render so I simply deleted the frames. Fortunately, this isn't a final render or anything, so if the animation appears to "jump" a bit, thats okay, but I can't have flashing black frames all over the place.

Ok why are you using after effects?.
- chossy0
I mean what are you using after effects for and how are you importing the footage?.

I'm using it to composite different passes together (ie, ambient occlusion, beauty, volumic, etc). I'm importing the footage normally, I suppose. That's not the problem. I'm just wondering if there are any settings that allow me to skip missing frames rather than add those color bars that appear.

Start a new project. After effects is trying to find media that does not exist anymore. Kill after effects and make a new project then import the data. If that does not work drop me a more detailed email if you like and I will solve your problem.
