Instance clear (tv_Clear) bug when using minus frames on the timeline

Post by Hironori Takagi »

I reporte a bug when we created a custom panel in our studio that "creates an empty instance and names it instance name 0".

-When using a minus frame on the timeline, if the instance is cleared with an empty frame (tv_Clear command or manually layer: clear), the length of the previous instance is not correct.

The importance is not so high, but please consider it.

Hello Takagi-san,

I have tried to reproduce this bug on my side (both 11.5.2 public build, and 11.5.3 beta build) and I wasn't able to do so.

Can you record a small video so we can have more information?

Okay, Thierry.
I recorded the occurrence of this bug on a video.

Thank you for the video, we managed to reproduce it.
I'll add it to the list (but I cannot guarantee it will be fixed for v11.5.3).

Hello Takagi-san,

We found out that our fix for the issue was causing some unexpected problems elsewhere in the software.
So we decided to revert the fix, as such the issue will not be fixed in v11.5.3, and we'll try to do it for the next update.

Generally speaking, I would strongly advise not to use negative images.

I checked.
Unfortunately, there are cases where a minus frame is used, such as when the clip starts in the middle of walking.
I will tell you in advance.
