Thanks Michael you are right.

Since my email I did try turning off multi-processing and it skipped all previously rendered frames.

Is there any good reason for why multi-processing mode should not be able to identify what frames exist and skip them?

It feels like a bug that it should take large amounts of time to skip frames.

Should this problem with skip feature when multi-processing not be clearly stated somewhere?

I believe if you have mutli-processing enabled, the skip feature is extremely slow. Try defining the range more closely to the missing frames or rendering with it turned off, and with multiple instances of AeRender.exe.

Trying to render.

Have selected skip existing frames in settings.

Now for some reason, currently for this 2 minute comp, it has taken 19 minutes 25 sec to skip 405 frames.

(without actually rendering a single frame)

How can this be? The first 2000 frames of the comp exists.

Rendering to TGA sequence.

The same happens when trying for example plugin BG Renderer.

From what I can see, it takes an average of 3 seconds to skip each frame.
(some take 7 seconds).

Should this skipping not be almost instant or at least a quick process?
