Cropping and saving frame
It’s not something I use a lot of but when you need it, well, you need it.
I’d collected a number of clips into a compound clip; double clicked on it to open it up; trimmed and cropped the subject and then went to save a particular frame of the sequence (mixing my metaphors/ terminology, apologies).
I lined up the frame and went to “SHARE”> “CURRENT FRAME” and saved it as a PNG to the project folder on my scratch drive.
I right clicked on the event to import files and chose said saved frame and then “I’d” and “O’d” it and then hit “W” to insert it and it looked NOTHING like the frame that I believed I had saved out. I stepped back, and repeated the same exercise in this compound clip ‘sequence’ and the same series of events occurred again.
(Instead of saving off the cropped/ trimmed part of the frame I seem to have saved off the primary storyline that lies underneath this compound clip.) Is this correct or does it run true or am I just ‘doing it wrong’?Puzzled,
Lawrence

Strange. Works for me. Maybe there’s something odd about the timeline. Could you post a screenshot?
All the best,
