  • Key Frame Position out of sync with Keyframe?

    Posted by Kaelan Fogarasi on May 28, 2019 at 7:04 pm

    I try to demonstrate the issue in this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGq8xV5pgao&feature=youtu.be

    Essentially, I try to place the text at the top of the video frame, however to do so I have to move the text outside the the actual frame in the text keyframe to do so, and results in it being out of frame next keyframe? Any advice?

    *Sorry if my vocabulary makes no sense, not sure on a lot of the proper phrasing for this issue.

    Use track motion to do this.

    Some how your pan crop window is not reflecting the crop.
    Make sure your text is centered and not animated in your titler.

    Thanks for the quick response! Yeah would this be a bug of some sort? Text is centered and as far as I know it is not animated? (unless this is a specific function to check outside fo the text iteself)

    First, make sure that Quantize to Frames is checked, meaning that it is “on”. You’ll find that setting in the “Options” tab. This will make sure your timeline cursor is always on a frame line and not in between.

    The problem is that your Legacy Title (Goodbye Daniel) has been truncated on the left hand side. Drag it to the left until you see the notch as pictured. Then drag back to the right to the frame line. The notch should disappear. This is the beginning of your event. That should fix things.

    Ah man thank you so much. Been a pain for a few weeks now and this seems to fixed it.
    Any idea on how to avoid this in the future? Thank you again for taking the time for this, greatly appreciated.

    I think this happens when:

    1) You have an event with a 2nd Keyframe (all events have at least one keyframe on the first frame)
    2) You split that event and delete the beginning.

    I think if you drag either end to shorten an event, the keyframes adjust and cause no problem. But if you chop the beginning off .. problems can occur with keyframes.

    This is especially true for titles. Shorten a title by cutting off the other end, not the beginning, or drag either end to shorten the event.

    Am I making sense? Sort of hard to explain. But, in your case, hopefully “lesson learned” ..

    I’m pretty sure I follow. Lesson learned indeed, and worst case, a future fix. Thank you again for taking the time to do this, greatly appreciated!
