Hi,

I am in the middle of creating a quick video tutorial which I will post on youtube to show you how I would do this.  I just need maybe another 10 minutes and I will post it as a reply to your message.

Hi,

Here is a quick tutorial on how to remove 1 frame in Movie Edit Pro.  I apologize for the flickering, I need to figure out why my system is producing that annoying glitch.  By the way, just so you know, you are not talking to anyone from Magix here.  This is a user forum so we are all users helping out other users.  If this works for you please post a reply saying that it helped or it did not help.

Thank you

Good Luck

I workarounded it zooming so much that I can see all individual frames on the timeline, and cut next to the desired one. But I really miss the dedicated buttons "Previous" and "Next" frame.

Thank you all it is solved!

Hi

You can use the left and right arrow keys to move one frame at a time irrespective of the zoom level - however as you found you need to zoom in to delete the single frame - use Ctrl+Del and the gap wil automatically close.

For information you can do what you are doing quicker if you use the keyboard trim object shortcut keys - you will have to check the keyboard settings you are using - File, Settings, Keyboard - mine are as follows:-

T        Split object at cursor

Z        Delete from the beginning of the selected object to the cursor

U        Delete the end of the object from the cursor

 

In your case the sequence would be (using my keyboard mapping):

Move cursor to start of frame to be deleted, press T

Press right arrow once, press Z.

Frame is now gone and gap closed - in two actions less then splitting the clip into three.

 

Also Ctrl + left or right arrow jumps along the timeline in 5 frame increments in either direction

It is worth learning these shortcuts they can save you a lot of time, clicking and zooming.
