I don't know if this is your issue, but I wonder if you understand that the cursor is always *between* frames, not *on* a frame. Frames are only shown when the cursor moves. As a result, you can see two different frames from the same location depending on the last direction you moved. That can make single-frame editing with the compositor, a bit tricky. Here's an example: Suppose your cursor is at the very start of the project. You press "1" and the cursor moves to 00:01; you see the first frame. You press "1" again and the cursor moves to 00:02; you see the second frame. You press "1", the cursor moves to 00:03, you see the third frame. Now you say, "Oh, that's too far, I want to move one frame back"; so you press "4" and the cursor moves to 00:02 and you still see the third frame (not the second) because now you're going in the opposite direction! It seems to me that that kind of effect could be relevant to this "black frame" problem and also to your "can't edit mask on every frame" problem. For the mask problem, I think keyframes may also be relevant. You can only edit the mask on a mask keyframe. If you try to edit the mask when you're not on a keyframe, then what happens depends on the setting of "Generate keyframes while tweaking". If that is *on*, then a new keyframe will be created wherever you are. If it is *off*, then you edit the mask on the most recent keyframe (or maybe the nearest one, I forget). I don't know if that means the cursor will jump to the keyframe, but if so, that would explain the behaviour you're seeing. Try turning on "Generate keyframes while tweaking" and see if that helps. -- Matthew Skala [EMAIL PROTECTED] Embrace and defend. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
