What broke: Replay Viewer keyframe timeline not same length as video. I load a replay of 1 minute, and the keyframe timeline will show 0.00 to 33:00. If I press the + it zooms in to the 16:00. If I press the - it zooms out up to 06:00:00. I cannot move the timeframe to just 1 minute for how long the replay actually is. On all the tutorials I watched, their keyframe timeline is set to how long their replay video is. Mine does not. If press V to Synchronize Timeline, What has only been a few seconds on the replay video, will move the yellow bar on the keyframe timeline minutes or hours ahead.

Steps to recreate: Click Replay Viewer. Select the replay to view. Load the replay. Keyframe timeline is 00:00 to 06:00:00.


Any unusual configuration stuff: None


Additional Details: This makes pathing near impossible unless you move each keyframe so close together.

Here is a video to show what I am having issues with, or what I am doing wrong. Any advice would be great!

Hello,

Having a longer keyframe timeline is not a bug. The original Replay mod also has a longer keyframe timeline than a recorded clip. The broken thing is zooming.

Example: if you have a 5-second replay and you want to make a cinematic video of buildings, you would have only a 5-second keyframe timeline and you wouldn't be able to add as many keyframes as you might need. Having a longer keyframe timeline lets you make minutes, even hours of cinematic videos or whatever requires to have long videos.

If you have a short replay, zoom in and start adding keyframes from the point where it shows a few seconds between timestamps, for example, 12:40, 12:45, 12:50 and so on. By doing that, you will be able to add keyframes without struggling. When I made the ReplayMod wiki, I also zoomed in to the point where it was easier for me to add keyframes. You can take a look at it: https://www.badlion.net/wiki/replay-mod-editing

The upper timeline is the one you should be looking at. It has the same length as your recorded replay clip.

Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Then the problem is only zooming into the desired keyframe time. Which makes it near impossible to create a path. Im sure this is a reported bug and is being looked into? Hopefully fixed in future update!

You're welcome!

The zooming issue already has been reported to an admin and developer.
