[Paraview] requesting particular animation frame

[Dominik Szczerba]

Indeed, it is a pipeline: cut, calculator, surface vectors and two streamline 
filters at the end. Requesting specific time steps results in going through 
all the intermediate steps, which can take a very long time.

However! This seems to only happen AFTER an animation was generated (as png 
images). So likely something is broken here. Can someone confirm please?
