similar to what i advised (i'm asking for a friend)
my method works well with a collapsed edit: all clips on V1 if possible
so:
copy sequence
collapse clips
export reference
re-import, lay on top of collapsed edit.
step though each edit, adding markers to the export
copy export to new bin,
toggle markers, make subclips,
batch export as stills
tidy up file names
the markers are numbered 1 to whatever,
so retain their timeline order
