In an ideal world I guess it’s the CG Dept’s responsibility to check the renders b4 they go to you for comping though I know too well how frustrating it is to get a failed sequence when the client is attending.

If it is a recurring problem it’s worth discussing this with your collegues to see if there is a way to remedy this – even log checks and email notifications would be helpful.

let’s face it, sometimes the client has revised the CG so much that it is impossible to re-render the missing / dropped frames without missing your deadline so you end up having to “fix it in post” from time to time.

There are O Flow tools out there though. The Framefixer people have an app that synthesises new frames, designed for failed renders and missing frames. This uses the Furnace / Foundry plug-ins so you could probably do the repairs using Furnace / Kronos.

Thats my 2 cents!
