P: Inserting or duplicating frame in Timeline deletes subsequent frames when working with 12.5 FPS

Photoshop 23.x, 24.x, Windows 10.

 

Open Timeline tab. Set Timeline Frame Rate to 12.5

 

Create a blank video layer. Paint a few frames to create several altered video frames.

Insert or duplicate frames in the middle of the edited layer with some altered video frames still following (e.g. Layers > Video layers > Duplicate Frame).

 

Instead of duplicated frame or an inserted blank frame, all the subsequent frames are deleted.

 

Appears to work correctly when the frame rate is set to 30 FPS.

I have a similar problem as original poster. When I go to Layers > Video Layers > Insert Blank frame, a blank frame is created at the play head, but all subsequent frames are deleted of content. Steps I took to create this file:

1. Create File

2. Create Video Timeline

3. Use Timeline Panel settings hamburger menu to change framerate from default to 12.

4. Create Blank Video Layer, and draw each frame

I'm on Photoshop 23.5.1, Mac OS 12.0.1, Macbook Air M1 (2020).

The sample file is really helpful! I've asked an engineer to take a look. Thanks.

Hi, I recreated the bug again, the order is important and I missed that in my original report.

 

Here are the updated steps:

//

Open Timeline tab. Leave the frame rate to default 30 fps.

 

Create a blank video layer.

 

Paint something on the first frame. Delete or leave the first frame as is.

 

Set Timeline Frame Rate to 12.5 fps.

 

Paint a few frames to create several altered video frames.

Insert or duplicate frames in the middle of the edited layer with some altered video frames still following (e.g. Layers > Video layers > Duplicate Frame).

 

Instead of duplicated frame or an inserted blank frame, all the subsequent frames are deleted.

//

Strange things are also happening after painting several frames, then changing frame rate. There should be some kind of option to leave painted frames in their place by frame number, not time. Maybe I missed that somehow, not sure.

 

Also, I noticed that most menu items from Layer > Video Layers are blanked out if you only select the layer in Timeline tab - although the layer appears selected in both Timeline and Layers tab.

 

It works once you select the layer from the Layers tab (see image below).

 

I can't tell if that's specific to some setting on my side.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Kind regards

Hi, thank you for prompt answer.

I probably did some steps differently or in a different order so that my file has this issue.

I'm sharing the offending file below:

Try duplicating or inserting a frame on the layer called "vrv" and all the following frames will dissapear.

 

Kind regards

Hi @gvovk I wasn't able to reproduce. I was able to insert a blank frame after "3" and duplicate the frame with "4" in it. Here's my file: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/97b7d937-9404-4096-5b61-1f3e9b5df084 let me know if I've set up anything different than you.
