overwriting a frame sequence

Deadline
1

Hey Guys,

Sorry if this is a lame question but I have not been able to figure our how to fix it yet.

Very often I will need to overwrite an existing render that has padded numbers. For some reason with my current version of Deadline it will not overwrite the render sequence but add another set of extra padded numbers, Is there a way to stop this from happening so that it just overwrites the frames?

I am on Deadline 4.1

Thanks.

Hi Christian,

That’s strange. Which software are you rendering with (ie: 3dsmax, Maya)? Does the job’s render log print out the file name that the rendered image is being saved to (specifically with the extra padding)? If so, can you post a log? You can find them by right-clicking on the job in the Monitor and selecting Job Reports -> View Log Reports.

Cheers,
