"Project > Clip: Add Single Exposure" doesn't work if there is an Out Point set
Posted: 10 Apr 2021, 17:42
I am using the shortcut "Project > Clip: Add Single Exposure" to extend (and shorten) my clips in the Project view.
However, if the clip has an Out Point already set, it would not work. If I enter inside the clip and use the same shortcut it does work on the layers (but the Out Point stays the same).
I understand that the Project Timeline view prioritizes The In-Out points over Layer's length, but that means that there is no easy way to play around with clip's length on the Timeline, because as soon as I touch it with my mouse to expand/shorten it, it automatically creates an Out Point, preventing me from using a shortcut in the future, unless I go inside the clip and remove the Out Pint again. For an animatic editing workflow this is very cumbersome. I think this behavior should be reworked, otherwise it beats the purpose of having this shortcut... I think this shortcut should set a new Out Point every time it is used or something like that.
