The Note Stopped at Ninety-Three

The pipeline note still says render the missing ninety-three frames. The take on disk is one hundred twenty-one. The edit keeps zero to ninety-three. That is not a missing tail. That is a written instruction that never caught up with the footage.

Shot ninety-nine finished. Sixteen queued jobs stayed on the disk. Nothing is assembling. Shot thirty-five made it into screening. Memory peaked around seventeen gigabytes and still had room.

The comparisons against a cleared reference came back clean. The lie was in the note, not in the frames. Tonight the queue stays parked.
