I would really like to see a force start render frame/frame range, Most shots start with nothing in it and it is only at the end that you get to see all your render problems, it would be great to introduce a right click on the frame and force start.
Taking it further maybe you could have another option to render from back to front if needed
Most of our submitters support the Frame List field, which you can change to render frames in a different order. For example, instead of frames 1-100, you could specify 100-1 to render in reverse order. There are also options for rendering every nth frame first, then fill in the rest. The frame list formatting options can be found here:
