Beyond VS Ultimate 21 - Is It Worth It?

[rapscallion]

Editing is supposed to be FUN! What you describe sounds like WORK and PTSD! Consumer, prosumer and professional grade NLEs should not behave that way.

U hit the nail on the head as VS resides outside these realms ... more like s**** grade meez thinks

are you using the timeline to trim your clips, dragging the ends to remove frames, then maybe drag back to replace the frames.

If we now drag to far beyond the ends of the clip then duplicate frames are added, they are duplicates of the end frame.

Of course we can remove those frames again, and by using the End and Mark-out buttons

( drag the end of the clip till the blue section is gone, Hit End once followed by F4 Mark-out )

HI latac... sorry for my very belated response ...

"are you using the timeline to trim your clips" YES

"dragging the ends to remove frames" YES

"maybe drag back to replace the frames" NO

The trimming works fine during any given session ... two things then typically happen: a) at some point VS crashes coz (that's what VS does well right) and upon reopening the project - hey presto corrupt edits as described above; and b) the project doesn't crash and I save it then on next reopen - hey presto corrupt edits as described above.
