Ignore missing frames

I’d like to see AE have the ability to ignore missing frames in a sequence in the same way that Nuke can do it.

 

Currently we have two options when importing e.g. animation that’s been rendered on twos for previewing. We can ignore missing frames and have the hideous missing footage screen show every other frame, making previewing impossible.

 

Or we can import sequences on twos with “Force Alphabetical Order” enabled, which removes the first problem but then does not respect frame numbers.

 

Neither is very user friendly.

 

Nuke has an option to just ignore missing frames such that a sequence can be viewed with missing frames simply holding from the last available image in a sequence.
