Obviously Deadline will have another machine pick up a task if a machine fails, but does it do any other error checking?
One of our artist was getting random blank (black) frames back. Can Deadline detect these sorts of problems, or is this an ideal opportunity to put my fledling python skills to work?
Don’t mind having a go, but also don’t want to re-invent the wheel, so to speak.

Hi Simon,
There are a couple plugins for Deadline that can check for bad/blank frames. After Effects and Fusion are ones that comes to mind. Which software was the artist using for rendering?
There is also a job right-click option to check for missing frames. This feature is dependent on the job knowing where it’s output is going. Most of our integrates submission scripts (and a few of our Monitor ones) pass along this information.
Cheers,
