I created this post so I can ADD PICTURES in support of a Feedback Tracker issue.
(You cannot add pictures to comments, so I'm doing it the hard way.)

ISSUE #407
http://www.reallusion.com/FeedBackTracker/Issue/It-s-too-easy-to-create-a-duplicate-Keyframe-in-the-timeline

SHORT SUMMARY:
Clicking *near* an existing keyframe will turn it green, so it looks like it is selected, but in fact you can be a couple frames away, so any "editing" will result in a *new* keyframe rather than modifying the existing one. This is probably more likely to occur when you are "zoomed out" on the timeline.

NOTICE:
a) The Frame counter
b) The keyframe that turned green
c) The new keyframe that appeared when I moved the avatar's fingers, so now his hand "jumps" from the old pose to the new pose in the span of two frames

That happens to me all the time. And yes only when zoomed out. Looks like you are on the key frame but your not

Zoom out to see where you are in the film sequence
Zoom in to make sure the keyfame is selected
Make the change
Zoom out to see where you are in the sequence while testing
Zoom in to make sure you are on the keyframe

Its a real pain when fintuning an animation

Yeah, they marked is as "Not Reproducible" so I figured I'd help.

I always say, a bug that can be reproduced is 80% fixed.
