I am experiencing odd things with keyframes. It doesn't seem to matter what effect or pan/zoom, it is anything which has keyframe control, and it is just strange to me. Am I missing something?
For the last 3 weeks, EVERY time I worked with something that had keyframes, if I clicked on the "Go to the farthest left most" button, it always jumped to the very last frame of the PRECEEDING clip, rather than the very first frame in the main clip I was working with. This was most annoying, since I only occasionally wanted to see the last frame of a clip I was not working with.
Lately, however, sometimes, but not always, I get the exact opposite effect. When I click for left most, I get the correct first frame of the main clip, but when that is working correctly, if I click for right most, I get the first frame of the NEXT clip. The oddest thing is that it keeps changing, either leftmost is out of sync, or rightmost, but never are both out, or both in sync.
I can actually see a benefit for jumping into the preceeding or following clip, under certain controlled circumstances, but not randomly, and not when I don't want to.
SUGGESTION: I would LIKE to have the ability to jump for left most to right most in the SAME clip, something I have never had.
SUGGESTION: Add the ability to click on right (left) most, and it goes to exactly that, the right most or left most frame of the event you are working in. However, if you click on right (left) most, again, THEN, jump to the last first, or last frame of the following or preceeding clip. This would allow for quick checks on color matching, pan and zoom settings, and many other things BETWEEN adjoining frames of different clips without having to leave whatever you are working on to view a preview. If right (left) most is clicked, again, it should go BACK to the main event you are working on.
In other words, this would, if controlled, be a wonderful way to jump back and forth beteen the first frame of the main clip and the last frame of the preceeding clip, or the last frame of the main clip and the first frame of the following clip, and back and forth. It would be, in effect, a wonderful planning and matching tool.
Meanwhile, how do I control what we have? Mainly, how do I STOP it from jumping out of the clip I am working on?
