I'm using the Image Sequence Saver in Octane 2024.1 / Cinema 4D 2025.0.0 / Windows 11 23H2.

I seem to remember in earlier iterations, when you check the "Use Render Settings" button, it pulled the frame range from C4D's Output Render Settings, but no matter what I do now, it always seems to render every frame in the timeline. Is there something I'm missing?

Strange, it just started working as expected again with Manual Frame Range... will have to do some testing to see what I did differently this time.

Did a bit of testing, and I don't know whether to classify this as a bug or not... it's definitely weird.

By default, C4D is set to Render Current Frame, but Image Sequence Saver defaults to all frames in the timeline, even though Use C4D settings is checked by default.

I'm getting different results depending on when in the process I change the range - going to have to test more later and see if I can narrow it down more

Figured it out - the Image Sequence Saver will not export one single frame - if the start and end frame are set the same, it will render ALL frames in the timeline. Logging this as a bug.
