Description Boris Dalstein 2018-06-05 13:05:58 UTC
When zooming the timeline, it displays every individual video frame as a thumbnail
Comment 1 Boris Dalstein 2018-06-05 13:15:48 UTC
The video thumbnails in the timeline (the ones that appear for all frames when zooming in, not the first/last thumbnails which seem to be okay) seem to ignore the 'speed' effect. That is, when speed=200%, it seems to display frame X/2 (w.r.t the beginning of the input non-cut clip) when the desired behaviour is to display frame X.

See attachments showing:
1. When zoomed in, the "first" thumbnail is correct, but the "middle" and "last" thumbnails are incorrect
2. When zoomed out, all thumbnails (=first+last thumbnails) are correct

This bug also seems to occur when the FPS of the input clip (e.g. 24fps) is different from the FPS of the project (e.g., 25 fps). I know this is bad practice to mix FPS and it's better to first convert the input clips to the target FPS before importing them, but still, the bug should not occur.

(and sorry for the first message, it seems I hit "submit" in the middle of writing the bug report, please delete if someone has admin rights to do so)
