In the matinee everytime I press enter, the timeline goes to 0 and the actor changes position. How do I insert key at a given time? ---

Are you selecting a proper track to set a keyframe before you hit enter? ---

This is similar to a bug that I am encountering, and wondering if it’s the same thing. Is this screenshot similar to what happens to you? ![35577-capture.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/e/e/aee0699d1db782b14dbb9ce575836045687c3edf.jpeg) ---

I seem to have experienced this as well. Regardless of where you drag the time slider, pressing enter creates a keyframe at time zero, and sends your time slider back to zero. For some reason, the issue disappeared when I turned off snap, and changed the snap value. I was then able create keyframes again. I was also able to return the snap value to the original value, turn snap back on, and enter keyframes where I wanted them. Hopefully anyone experiencing this can at least try this as a workaround. ---

I’m also experiencing the snap issue. I had it set to a snap value of 0.10 and it was causing everything to jump back to 0 including the loop marker. Very strange. Using 4.8.3. Thanks for posting your solution Load Time! ---
