Hi all. I,m working in a cg show and most of the renders I have to comp have missing-unrendered-black frames, and the problem is that when I open these files in Shake, automatically Shake merge all the available frames together, doing the shot shorter with jumps, not with the same lenght and black frames. There's any way to open these files and keep the original lenght, obviously with black frames where the frame is missing?
Thank's.

Your file in lists something like this: "TBA0005.1-20,40-100@.cin". All you do is change it to look somthing like this: "TBA0005.1-100@.cin".

Thank's Deke. It's exactly the solution I was looking for.
