After effects is complaining about some missing frames, when loading an image sequence.
The images are ALL there, no real missing frame.
All image files have nearly same size, so i cannot say from that, which files are corrupt.
The files are EXR, so i cannot view through them with fcheck or something alike.
The files are quite big and it takes AE quite some time to load a single frame to display, so i cannot go through the timeline frame by frame.
The frames were rendered on different machines, and since then other stuff has been rendered, so i cannot check the maya render log for errors.

Is there ANY WAY to get informed of which are the missing frames?

Do you know which machines rendered which frames? That may help you out, as a specific machine may have been causing the problem.

Not really. Unfortunately AE is rather dumb on that end. Just render the sequence, add a Timecode effect set to frames and set the logging on the render queue to Extra per Frame info.

Slightly off topic, but somewhat related, what about these:

- Missing effects. Any way to pinpoint the layers that have the missing effects? Sometimes I don't want to install them, I just want to remove the layers.

- Incompatible effects with multi-processing. Would it kill AE to tell me the name of the effect that is incompatible with multi-processing, instead of me having to move through my project with a fine-tooth comb? I've seen the list of incompatible effects; it's a little annoying to have to memorize it, or alternatively, look it up every time AE spits this warning out.
