I’m able to get the current frame number with `UMovieSceneCaptureEnvironment::GetCaptureFrameNumber()` in C++ and with the `Get Capture Frame Number` node in Blueprint with the regular movie renderer.  
However, if I enable the Movie Render Queue plugin, then both always return 0.

How else can I get the current frame number?
