Render new stills and not the created video sequence Im new to the video editing side of blender and here's the thing:
i was stitching image sequences of a rendered animation i created and i want to take a step baCK and change something on the animation but when i try to render a new image sequence again, only blender does is output a blank, empty gray screen,
my guess is that this is the video sequence rendering and not the animation, because i moved the image sequence strips away from the frame range, because i want it out of the way when rendering the edited animation but alas, blank 

what am i not getting here? how can i get blender to render the animation again? and not the video sequence?
Sounds as though you have not set your render output back to still images.



If you already have multiple sequences you want to re-stitch, just be sure to re-adjust your start and end frames.
