Problem rendering animation with denoise using a renderfarm.

Problem rendering animation with denoise using a renderfarm.
It will output duplicate frames.
Removing the denoise will fix the issue.

Hi,
Could you provide some information regarding all settings being used, as well as system information.

Also if possible please share the scene

Hi,
It's just a simple animated sphere scene.
The problem is when the frames are distributed to multiple machines for rendering with denoise enabled.
On further testing, problem also occurs with only 1 PC using Maya's command line rendering with start & end frames.
Rendering on 1 PC with denoise enabled using "Render Sequence" inside of Maya doesn't have this problem.

hello,

Can you provide some information

1. what OS are you using
2. Systems specs (CPU and GPU)
3. what Driver version of the GPU
4. are you using any specific Flags in CMD rendering for example ( Render -r FireRender -of "jpg" scene .mb )
5. What Plugin Version are you using?

I tried maya command line rendering with all frames and denosier seems to be working on my side,

I have:

1. Windows 11 / Maya 2023.3
2. 2x Xeon E5-2697 v3 / RTX A4000 (rendering with GPU only)
3. 517.40 (newer drivers seem to be unstable with Prorender)
4. render -s 1 -e 50 scenefile.mb ( I tried a simple "render scenefile.mb" and "render - r FireRender scenefile.mb" - same result)
5. Prorender for Maya v3.4.0

The scene file is on a NAS with the drive mapped to P:
I tested it now with a Ryzen 9 5970x / RTX 3070 Ti (all other specs same as above.)
It renders the frames (see different file sizes) but the animation is gone (thumbnails).
