Frame by frame scrolling

[Justin_K]

Hi there. I've found a slight annoyance that I wonder if anyone else has experienced

I'm working with video (25fps). Using the scroll wheel on my mouse I can scroll the transport counter frame by frame forward and the video follows frame by frame.

Backwards however, the video waits and leaps in larger increments of say 6 frames at a time, for example

I can use the left and right arrows to scroll backwards and forwards accurately frame by frame but only after clicking in the movie window.

What technique does everyone else use to do this task, if your setup fails like mine?

thanks

arrow keys but rather than clicking to focus movie window
use a keyboard shortcut

in Consolidated Window

Control ~

or popped out

Command ~

Thanks for your reply.

So I'm guessing that no one else has experienced this behaviour?

It seems odd that I can scroll forward frame by frame perfectly using the scroll wheel with the mouse hovering over the frame counter in the transport window... but not backwards.

It might have to do with the video format.
