Start Frame number:
When rendering an image sequence in AME, I need the option to control start frame number - as I have in AE. So that I can correct certain frames, and render them directly into my existing sequence.

I fully agree - having used After effects since 1995, I still don't get, why they don't just (hold your breath) make it possible for AME to just use the numbering from the After Effects submit. Example: AE: render 0232-0234 AME: 0232-0234.

And while we are at it - also just adopt the "timecode-to-frame-and-back" switch function from After effects too, when ctrl+clicking the time-display, thus changing the display from timecode to frames.

For those that are still waiting for Adobe to pull finger - you can batch rename your images using Adobe Bridge. It is not ideal, adds several steps to the process and requires you to render to a different location and then move the image files back to where you're keeping the rest of your sequence. It's a fix of sorts, but please don't stop nagging Adobe to fix their product - I really don't know why this problem hasn't been addressed for years and years. How I long for a competitor to Adobe to release a media encoding app.

Wow - this has been an issue for years now. Get it sorted Adobe - its a basic necessity for us professionals.

Agree! For most large or professional projects, rendering image sequences is a critical part of the workflow, and when a render fails or a partial revision is needed, we need to be able to render portions of the timeline without using third-party products to renumber all of the frames. After Effects already works this way. We need AME and Premiere Pro to do it as well.
