Keyframe time display
I just noticed something about Producer 5! In Slide Options, Edit tab, toward the upper left it shows the time position of the keyframe you are on. It's even clickable, where you can change the time. No more right-clicking on the keyframe itself!

Re: Keyframe time display
It's kind of amazing what is provided in this new UI (well, once you get used to it). Notice too that you can jump from one keyframe to the next using the last set of icons to the far right of the keyframe time you mentioned. That's a very nice feature too. Of course, it's just an icon-based feature for a keystroke feature that's existed for some time now tho. Still, nice to have an icon-based option too. Too, you don't have to click on a keyframe to select it. Photodex added the ability to select a keyframe (in the Effects Tab of the Slide Options) by putting the mouse cursor near the keyframe vs right on top of it. This is useful for those using pens and tablets. You now have less of a chance of inadvertently changing the keyframe's position during keyframe selection. I wonder what they'll for us add next!

Yes, it's a nice feature, no doubt.
But, you should also know, that the keyframes in Producer 5 are much more stable than previous versions, and nothing much happens if you do click on the keyframe itself. It doesn't move, as in previous versions. Also, as Dale mentioned, you can click somewhere next to the keyframe too.

I stopped using a graphics tablet with Producer because those little hand jerks could move keyframes just a tick or even more, though now I'm wondering if I've even tried it with version 5. I'll have to test it.

I'm sure you'll be surprised, Barbara.
Re: Keyframe time display
I just so happened to have Producer behind this screen, so I grabbed the pen and gave it a try. It seems my little jerks are a touch too large, and the keyframes end up moving. But that's all right since I prefer using the mouse with Producer, being that I'm constantly back and forth between mouse and keyboard. (My setup is such that I have either the keyboard in front of me or the tablet.)

We got our wires crossed.
