Is there an expression that can “output” a list of comma separated frame numbers?
We have a 3Ds/ C4D render farm here at work and sometimes a rogue computer or two will render a bunch of bad frames. On a long animation it can be hard to find all of the frames and get some numbers that can be put back into 3DS to re-render the bad frames. It doesn’t need to be fancy, I just need those values so that I can and paste them.
So the idea is to go through the whole animation (manually) and drop a marker where there is a bad frame. Then an expression would generate a frame number and a comma for each marker.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

If you select the layer with the markers, open the script editor, paste in this script and run it, it should write the comma-separated frame numbers to the console window. You can copy and paste it from there.
{
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myLayer = myComp.selectedLayers[0];
var s = "";
for (var i = 1 ; i <= myLayer.property("Marker").numKeys; i++){
if (i > 1) s += ",";
t = myLayer.property("Marker").keyTime(i);
s += Math.round(t/myComp.frameDuration);
}
}
$.writeln(s);
