Question

After Effects reads frame content incorrectly

Since yesterday I have been trying to cut a few minutes video clip (H265 lossless) and apply Warp Stabilizer for each layer.
And I see that it is too difficult for this program.
1. Video offsets constantly appear on some layer - the program is unable to read the correct frame correctly. I thought I was accidentally moving the layer. However, no, it is the program that cannot read frames correctly.
2. Warp Stabilizer - seriously, you can't select layers and have wholesale stabilization? Hello?
3. Warp Stabilizer - and this won't show Track Points, and this freezes. The stabilization is supposedly complete and the effect is not visible. Restart the program and it starts working.
4. Preview using spacebar - 5% CPU, 5% HDD load - and preview can stop. Because yes, and that's it.

I've been working since yesterday, but Resolve is a demon of reliability and robustness next to you.

Unbelievable - suddenly the last frames disappeared in the main edition, even though, as you can see, they should have been.

 

And after entering the precomposition, it turns out that they are trimmed there. Why? It is not known. But the best part is that there is no way this can be expanded now. You can't move the end and that's it.
This is the first time I've seen a program that keeps generating errors...

More errors:
1. There is no attraction - I moved the layer to the time marker. I zoomed in and see it's not attracted at all. I supposedly have Snapping enabled, but I don't think it works or that's not what it's for.
2. I don't know who came up with the idea that in Premiere left-right is for jumping to the next frame, and in After Effects Page Down/Up. This is sick.
3. I'm making a precomposition and it has the full length of the layer - not just the trimmed material. Another shortcoming.

The number of errors and imperfections in this program is staggering.

Again, the layers overlap. Where do such miracles come from in this program???

Another dud - once the layer is locked, you can't even select it to navigate with the I and O buttons. Ehhh...
