Hi, there’s something I quite don’t understand here, when you’re working in frames, why doesn’t the cursor slave to whole frames? If I don’t zoom all the way in and place the cursor sampleaccurate at 1.000000 I have no control of where the cursor ends up, it might be 1 frame and 237 ms. And during the course of an hour you’re suddenly 1 frame off the picture lock…
Is there a on/off button anywhere I haven’t spotted?
Fredo, if you zoom in so that each number in your timeline is a frame with a chunk of space between each you can clearly see that even if you have snap to grid set and grid set to frame it won’t snap. Seems like this is one of those things many of us would overlook simply because we’re looking at the timecode display which ends in frames and frames are such a small value, and some of us also usually locate by typing numbers in, so we never get the feeling something is wrong.
But I just checked and sure enough, rather than snapping to a frame on the grid it chooses a finer subdivision. So in practice this means that if we locate using the cursor then even though it may read a timecode of 01:01:01:01 it could be closer to either 01:01:01:00 or 01:01:01:02, and the only way to see it is to show subframes (which you can also land between incidentally).
