Stingers: skip dropped frames in transition playback

[barnstorm3r]

On occasion I encounter frame drops in the playback of my stinger transitions. This is not a huge problem, except that the program appears to try and make sure that it shows every frame until the length of the transition file has elapsed, when it just stops playback.
I'd like to suggest that if it fails to render a frame it simply reshows the last frame and moves on to rendering the next frame, as otherwise the stinger transition playback may well stop before the transition animation is completed, as I have experienced. This would mean that the framedrop issues are far less noticeable to viewers, because a single frame reshow is much less noticeable than a jarring end where a frame of transition simply vanishes from the screen.
Thanks!

I guess the real question is why it's having so much trouble playing back a media file for the transition... Can you post a log? Also, an example of the problem and maybe even a sample problematic transition might be helpful in order to replicate.
