Not new to this software, just had a summer break without having to do any editing, just getting back to it after some updates in the software. Many of you may know what I've been doing for years. I seemed to have discovered a bug with the latest update, I don't know if it has been discovered by others.
I often record hour long performances, with multiple cameras sync'd on the timeline, then fade between each track to provide multiple camera angles. My work flow was to find all the necessary views on each track, then on use the object edit tool to specify how many frames to fade in and out. Now the object edit tool does not work. I cannot type in the specified number of frames, or use the upper arrow icons in the object edit tool to scroll to the number of frames required, I usually use 30 frames, for a half second fade. If I use the pull handle on the track, I can then drag the handle to provide the transition. Once I drag the handle on the clip, I could then use the object edit tool. I could also copy/paste that effect to other objects on the timeline, but if I modify either the transition,or position of the track on the timeline, all the fades are removed from the entire project. Annoying as hell. Many of these clip do have movement actions to them, panning or zooming across the view, and that works well. When the transitions or fade disappear the movement actions remain. My work flow has been disrupted, because I always have to apply the transitions of fade as the last instruction to the project then I can render it. I can no longer apply a fade effect to the first object on the timeline, then group all the clips on the timeline, then paste effect to all of the following.
Here is a sample of a clip to help you understand my workflow. Anyone else see this problem, am I now doing something wrong?
