Thanks for that but I have a very specific sync number for each clip. I
feed that into the ice tree as a string to array node, the string coming
from a spreadsheet where I've analysed all the clips for sync points.
For each different action that I want to sync I have a different list of
numbers.

If you have random time offsets for each particle, it will take more
time to load all the different files but maybe you can use time offset
groups to reduce the IO overhead. Just use a limited range of
(non-animated) random integers, scale the result and add it to the
current time.

Here's a funny one:
I have a bunch of particles representing people in a crowd.
I set an integer attribute called /*clip_frame*/ on these
particles.
I have hundred image clips and I set the */time source/*
of the clip to be the attribute that I set in the ice tree
rather than /*scene_time*/.
When all these numbers are the same, MR renders as you'd
expect straight off the bat pretty quickly. When these are
all different numbers I get a helluva slowdown pre-render.
It takes an absolute age to get its act together before it
starts rendering.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alastair
