I've got animated textures in mtlx / karma working fine, but i have one where i want to hold its start frame.

For instance:
My timeline is 1000 frames long.
My animated sequence is 750 frames long
I want the animated sequence to start at frame 250 / or backtime it from the last frame.

Would the frame offset parameter on the mtlx image node do this with a negative number?

Is there another way?

lol, nope.

for those following along, this is the wrong way to do it, but it works:

My frame offset is 509 (I don't want to see this texture animate until frame 509 of 1440)
I used an edit material properties lop, and in the file name I added `$F-509`.png
So it throws a missing texture error in the log until frame 509, but renders fine and doesn't crash.

I'll eventually figure out the right way, but for now this works.
