[Paraview] Save Animation option in ParaView 5.4.0 vs 5.3.0

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Mark,

As  I was re-reading your email while working on issue #1792 [1] which
affects the save animation dialog, I have a few questions: Are you
saving the movie as AVI (and on what platform). If so doesn't changing
"Frame Rate" have the same effect for avi? If you set your frame rate
to 1 frame/second, doesn't that yeild exactly what you're looking for
-- each frame stays on for 1s with discrete jumps and no
interpolation? Atleast on linux/mac where the FFMPEG writer is used, I
can see that the frame rate of 1 fps works as expected. What am I
missing?

Thanks,
Utkarsh
