Output Only First Frame

I have a flow that outputs a qt file, and I was wondering if there was a way to add another output that would render the first frame only. At the moment, I have a second comp that does this from qt file, but I'd like to do all this in a single comp if possible.

Thank you.

There is a hos_SaverList script that would allow you to create multiple saves in one flow, and customize the render duration for each saver. I've been using it a lot lately, Here's a link to the script.

Or you could just add another saver after the qt-saver. Set it that it saves as jpg or png etc and animate the blend level(last tab, with the radioactive icon). Set it to 1 where you want a frame, and set it to 0 when you want no frame.

The House of Secrets script is extremely useful though, albeit for more extreme saver management.
