We have noticed that when to render to png the name of resulting frames is not always correct. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem: - In Unreal 4.15.1, create a new Blueprint project - Blank - No Starter Content - Add a cube in the scene - Click “Cinematics” - “Add Master Sequence” - “Number Of Shots”=3 - “Create Master Sequence” - In the Sequence Master, reduce each shot to be only 2 frame long. - In the Sequence Master, click on the Render Icon - In Render Movie Settings window, set “Output Format” = “image Sequence (png)” - In Render Movie Settings window, set “Filename Format” = {shot}\_{frame} - In Render Movie Settings window, click “Capture Movie”, “Save Selected”, “Save” The resulting file names are: - shot0010\_001\_0000.png - shot0010\_001\_0001.png - shot0020\_001\_0002.png - shot0020\_001\_0003.png - shot0020\_001\_0004.png … We would expect it to be named shot0030\_001\_0004.png - shot0030\_001\_0005.png - shot0030\_001\_0006.png … This frame is not part of our shots, so we ignore it As we can see, there are 3 frames in shot 0020, while in Sequencer we see only two frames for that shot. ![135403-renderresultsinwrongqtyofframes.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/d/1/dd1d9ae2e0eb52639f387a84ae2ef64dec6a3b8c.jpeg) It looks to us that the problem may be in ULevelSequencePlayer::TakeFrameSnapshot(). We have locally replaced the following logic: ``` if (Section->IsActive() && Section->GetRange().Contains(CurrentTime) && (!ActiveShot || Section->GetRowIndex() < ActiveShot->GetRowIndex())) ``` by ``` if (Section->IsActive() && (Section->GetRange().GetUpperBoundValue() - CurrentTime > 0.00833f /*half the current framerate*/) && (!ActiveShot || Section->GetRowIndex() < ActiveShot->GetRowIndex())) ``` and with that modification the files are named as expected. ---

Hey Sebastien, I’m unable to reproduce this in 4.15.2. I’ve got it set up exactly like you do, but I can’t seem to get it to render 3 frames for shot 2. ![137664-extraframesrendered.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/4/4/944144c35d4264f01abca78719d0b89ec01aafaf.jpeg) Can you send an example project that reproduces this? There might be something unique in your project that I’m missing. Maybe Start/End Time. - ---

@W: I downloaded 4.15.2 and opened my RenderIssue.uproject. I have done “Capture Movie” and got my problem (3 frames in shot0002). I will send you a link to my RenderIssue project in the next hours. ---

Hey Sebastien, Apologies for the delay, but it appears your project is no longer available on the download link. - ---

Hi , How do you suggest that I provide you my project? Do you have a FTP site or something like that? Sébastien ---

Hey Sebastien, You can share with google drive. I just think the link you sent had expired. We’re working through a large backlog right now, so responses have been a little sparse from us. - ---
