Bug on selecting keyframes

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm some kind of inexperienced animator but I think I'm stuck in an strange bug that doesn't let me select the keyframe. It's like I do an animation, then I reopen it and because of yes the keyframe moved from 20 to 20,5 and I can't select it.

And if I insert another keyframe in between it's even worse

You can jump to a fractional timecode if you use those StepForward/BackOneKey buttons.

However, I imagine it would be a hell to animate that way, so, if I were you, I'd move keys to the whole frames in DopeSheet/GraphEditor or do animation Bake.

I love you man, you saved my life. By the way do you know why this "bug" is produced? Thanks.

That is no bug at all. Time in Maya is fractional, 6000 ticks per second.

You might have got such keyframes in several ways, like, changing scene time units from 30fps to 24fps or transforming existing keyframes/curves with time-snapping OFF, to name some.
