Is there a way to keep the frame range but skip first n frames Is there a way to have a frame range from i.e. Frame Start 1 to End 1000 but skip the first 400 Frames and start rendering the animation at frame 401 without changing the Frame Start value?
Why would I ever need this?
Unfortunately I started rendering a procedural animation, where some values depend on the values of Frame Start and Frame End. Blender crashed half way through rendering the frames and I want to resume at a specific frame. If I change the Frame Start now, I would get a totally different animation.
I believe this Add-on does what you need: Loom
In your case you'd simply press Ctrl + Shift + F12 to bring up the render dialog. And then enter 401-1000.
