I think I understand some of what you are saying. You are saying that after the bisection, continuously step backwards + read forward while doubling the step size until the keyframe is found?
Some questions: - What is the difference between the lowercase k and the uppercase K in your diagram? And to make sure I didn’t misunderstand, v is the result of the bisection and A/B/C indicate the steps? - Why after finding the keyframe in step C, is there an extra -->? - Re: “there is code somewhere in git to do something similar already”, do you have an idea of what I should search for to find this code?
