I'm finding my memo cams are rather unreliable now. Were fine in 3.5.

 Subject: v4.0 bugs and problems


 Hi people,

 I've just found some problems in AE (Xsi v4.0):

 1 - AE's Preferences get lost very often
 Repro steps:
 - Open a scene with some animation clips in the mixer.
 - Select a clip.
 - Hit 0 to load AE for the selected clip and open AE > View > Preferences.
 - Change preferences, uncheck "slopes on unselected curves" inside View
Tab for example.
 - Press Ctrl + T in the mixer, that will display a PPG with Clip's time
control. (Don't close AE and TimeControl PPG)
 - Select another Clip in the mixer and ... voilĂ , the changes in
preferences get reset as their default values.

 2 - in v4.0 AE has "edit > snap to grid" option enabled by default... I
know this can't be defined as a bug but it's very annoying.

 I hope that someone from support is reading.... and these are only some
SMALL v4.0 bugs.

 The buglist is endless... RBD actual shape not working AT ALL, capture
codecs crashing, mixer saves corrupted scene files in certain situations
(you will never be able to open such scenes again), corrupted mixer
audiotracks in scenes loading from v3.5 and many others, everything using
certified v4.0 specific drivers.

 Anyone from Soft could please tell us if a bugfix release is planned?
We're switching back 10 people to v3.5 in production. Weird.

 Regards,
 Michele
