Hiya - does anyone know what the strange ‘half’ keyframes are in CAT that sits between frame markers? Sometimes I move part of a CAT rig and get this small keyframe on the main timeline it general seems to behave as normal except for the fact you sometimes seem to be able to add *another* keyframe on top of it which does through up some odd errors. I’m not sure if this is a certain feature or a bug…
Any ideas?

Cheers
Marcus

Set your preferences to auto keyframe starting on 0.  It defaults to 1.  When it is set to one the time warp for the Cat starts on one and causes all the animation to be slightly shrunk.  It should start on 0 when you create your animation layer.  You will see this timewarp slider on the cat top parent item.  If it is keyed on 1 to 100 when you scrub through you will see the timewarp off from the frames.  When it is keyed to start on 0 to 100, scrubbing through causes the timewarp values to sync up with the keyframes.  When the animation is shrunk by one frame it causes keys to be dropped on sub-keyframes.
