Hi David,

Sorry for the delayed response, thanks for looking at this. I subscribed to the 
issue in GitLab.

Hey Mark,

Looks like we took that out as part of the revamp described here:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/15917

Specifically this merge request took out the "No. Frames" entry.
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/merge_requests/896
because, at least at that time, apparently the control didn't do anything at 
all.

A 1 commit merge request that restores the widget and hooks it up to do what it 
apparently did at one time is
here. https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/merge_requests/2197

Hello,

In ParaView 5.3.0 and earlier, when Animation mode was Snap to TimeSteps, in 
the Save Animation dialog box there was an option for No. of Frames / timestep. 
This doesn’t show up in the 5.4.0 dialog box. Was this just moved or was it 
removed completely?

My use case for this is a data set with 25 timesteps, each of which is on the 
order of either 5 minutes or 30 minutes apart in real world time. I’d render 30 
frames / timestep to get a 25 second movie to show each discrete timestep for 
one second. The video should show those discrete jumps in time and not use 
interpolation.

I can do the frame replication in BASH but it was handy to have that option.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,

One more thing to help until the num frames/time step comes back. If you want 
to use the sequence mode and get a time stamp that reflects the time in your 
time step, try using the Annotate Time Filter (as opposed to the Annotate Time 
Source) and attach it to your data. That should report the time of your data 
instead of the global ParaView time. (There is an exercise in the ParaView 
tutorial demonstrating this.)

[Paraview] Save Animation option in ParaView 5.4.0 vs 5.3.0

[Van Moer, Mark W]

Hello,

In ParaView 5.3.0 and earlier, when Animation mode was Snap to TimeSteps, in 
the Save Animation dialog box there was an option for No. of Frames / timestep. 
This doesn't show up in the 5.4.0 dialog box. Was this just moved or was it 
removed completely?

My use case for this is a data set with 25 timesteps, each of which is on the 
order of either 5 minutes or 30 minutes apart in real world time. I'd render 30 
frames / timestep to get a 25 second movie to show each discrete timestep for 
one second. The video should show those discrete jumps in time and not use 
interpolation.

I can do the frame replication in BASH but it was handy to have that option.

Thanks,
Mark

Re: [Paraview] Save Animation option in ParaView 5.4.0 vs 5.3.0

[Van Moer, Mark W]

I forgot to mention that I can write out the number of frames I want if I use 
Sequence instead of Snap to TimeSteps, however, then an Annotate Time source 
will show an interpolated time based on the sequence rather than the actual 
timesteps. If there's a work around for that behavior I could do that instead.
