Mmmm... I did not understand at all! I read that page : http://www.ftconsult.com/twiki/bin/view/Cinelerra/KeyboardShortcuts It's written : Transport Controls (Using the numberpad) 1 Frame Forward 4 Frame back So, why when pressing 4 the frame displayed is not the back frame? The problem is the "reference frame". Is it the nearest frame from the point you selected? > 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.

Try turning on "Generate > keyframes while tweaking" and see if that helps. When selecting the mask, the displayed image moves. I just want to edit frame by frame. Is there a setting to do that? And is that really interesting to be able to select a point BETWEEN frames ?
