I am doing an amimation that starts on frame ID 0 and ends in Frame ID 800.
Firstly I assumed a number of 801 frames
then i realise that were some failures (frame and repeated frames)
1 is rigth, 0 is the repetition of last frame and, 2 it’s a jumped frame
And the penultimate frame appears
then I assumed a number of 800 frames
And all the failures of the last animation disappears and penultimate frame dont appears
**How can I fix this?**
My Python Animation Cue (ii is the frame ID)
```auto
def tick(self):
ii = int(self.GetAnimationTime()*int(0.8e+00/1.0000e-03/1))
print(ii)
```

You are doing a truncation with the `int()` method. Your duplicates and missing values are just due to this truncation.
Then, note that `self.GetAnimationTime()` return you a nomalized progress.
If you want to get the frame ID, you should use something like:
```auto
from paraview.simple import *
def tick(self):
print(self.GetAnimationTime() * (GetAnimationScene().NumberOfFrames - 1))
```

Sends an error: ‘GetAnimationScene’ is not defined

you should add the `from paraview.simple import *` before the method declaration
