Most of the times is a scalar value that it getting fed to the offset
when your instances want only integers...
If you are sure it's not that, maybe is just the amount, have you
tried using standins instead?. This is where Arnold is king though ;).

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
