Description Fernando Marcelino Muniz 2020-07-23 21:17:34 UTC

SUMMARY
When pasting a clip you copied in the editing timeline, it will be placed in random places, instead of always in the white space of the "timeline needle"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a clip in the timeline
2. Paste it somewhere

OBSERVED RESULT
The first frame of the video doesn't appear in the needle's white space most of the times, and it doesn't appear at all when you are trying to paste it over a video

EXPECTED RESULT
Being able to place exactly where the needle's white space is in order to have frame perfect accuracy, and being able to cut clips if the needle is above them

Use shortcut "v" or "b" for insert at the playhead position. Use shortcut "shift+r" to cut under the playhead. User shortcut "(" to short the left part under the playhead or ")" the right part.

I've noticed that the pasting isn't random like i've thought, it's pasted on where the mouse cursor is located on the timeline.
