  • Why the firts picture of the clip is not shown ?

    Posted by Timothée Ferreol on March 21, 2015 at 6:29 pm

    This is one of the most annoyinthing g I get on SVP.
    Basically, if I put my cursor at the begining of a clip, it is not the very first image of that clip that will be shown, but the one just before.

    Just Like that :

    On the picture you can see I intended to place my cursor at the begining of the red color but the previsualisation tab show me the white color…
    This situation also happens with I look at the previsualisation of the first keyframe of a clip.

    Is there a way to fix that ?

    Make sure that Quantize to Frames option is ON (under Options menu).

    Do you have ‘Enable snapping’ selected? If not, turn it on.

    [Timothée Ferreol] “Basically, if I put my cursor at the begining of a clip, it is not the very first image of that clip that will be shown, but the one just before. “

    Your playhead is NOT at the beginning of the clip. Zoom in and see for yourself:

    Try using the ‘[‘ and ‘]‘ keys to navigate to the event edges. Note that pressing ‘]’ once will still show white because you are on the last frame of the white clip. Press ‘]’ again will show red because you’re on the first frame of the red clip. So each press of ‘]’ or ‘[‘ navigates to the first or last frame of the event (i.e., you have to press it twice to skip to the first frame of each clip).

    @Phil Peacock
    Yeah snapping is on.

    Well I noticed my playhead is not exactly at the begining of the clip on this picture but it does the same even if i perfectly placed it at the beginning of the second clip.
    See :

    You’ll notice that my cursor is on the very first keyframe of the white clip and that it shows me red.

    Your events do not start at frame boundaries – turn on Quantize to Frames and move them to the nearest frame boundary.

    What is your Timeline Ruler set to? I see that your project is 23.976. Is the Timeline Ruler set to SMPTE Film Sync IVTC (23.976 fps Video)?

    No, It was not, it was on “Time & Frames”, I changed it to ” SMPTE Film Sync IVTC (23.976 fps Video)”. But I still get one frame before on the previsualisation tab when I hit at the beginning of a clip

    Try moving the clips with the new timeline ruler setting and see if they change position to snap to line up.
