- Step-by-step mode: Previous steps now run automatically if needed


Flowframes 1.27.2 Changelog:
- Added Backup option - Will save an incomplete video after every chunk encode
- Custom FFmpeg args now also get applied for GIF encoding, not just videos

- Image sequence inputs can now be used without any importing/copying (if compatible)
- Added the FPS limit ("Maximum Output Framerate") to Quick Settings tab
- Batch Processing: AI Model name is now shown in queue
- Batch Processing: Fixed problems where GIFs/videos would play too slow
- Fixed problem where GIF/APNG interpolations would have unnecessary dupe frames

- Added image sequence copy support for BMP and WEBP (no PNG conversion on import)
- Invalid (non-image) files now get ignored when loading an image sequence folder
- New model files hoster, should make model downloading more reliable
- Fixed the encoding log sometimes stopping, even if ffmpeg is still running
- Fixed PNG image sequence outputs getting re-encoded unnecessarily
