Change Image sequence frame only every nth scene frame?

Question

Is it possible to only change the frame on a image sequence on every nth scene frame?

For example, if I have a 6 frame image sequence, and I want it to last 30 frames, It should only change to the next image every 5 scene frames.

Is this possible?

This is a image texture in cycles.

Is this for an image texture, an image sequence in the compositor, or an image sequence in the VSE? Of the three, only the VSE offers the ability to do what you're describing (by way of the "Strobe" setting in the Filter panel of the VSE's Properties region (N-key)). — Fweeb, Aug 15, 2013 at 16:35

Another Way:

Add Image Texture Node with Image Sequence enabled. Animate the Offset Parameter for animation. enter image description here

$\begingroup$ The only problem with this is that with longer image sequences animating the offset can get tedious.. Great solution though :) $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @gandalf3 for longer image sequences, give a try this way: blender.stackexchange.com/a/15855/696 $\endgroup$

One way to do this (as mentioned by Fweeb) is to:

Render out the image sequence with the VSE using the Strobe option.
To build on the example in the question, this will essentially create 5 copies of each image, properly labeled with frame numbers etc.
Load the rendered sequence instead of the original.
