[Bf-committers] VSE placeholders

[Jeffrey]

Hi devs.

I noticed there was a placeholder feature added recently, so I went to 
try it out today. It seems it uses placeholders for images within the 
available sequence (ex: 1-200, 150 and 152 are missing) but that's all. 
I was expecting it to fill in placeholders until the ending frame you 
specify when importing the sequence (ex: 1-200, but 150 is the last 
available image file). It simply ends the imported sequence at frame 150 
and will not gather new frames when the sequencer is refreshed. Would it 
be practical to allow blender to fill in the remainder of the frame 
range with placeholders? This allows cutting together sequences that 
aren't quite finished rendering yet. I have wanted this feature for a 
number of projects, produced from both blender and external applications 
like Maya.
