Bugs/Side-Effects/Unexpected Limitations

Note the jumps in this sequence caused by the bug. Click on the image for more information.
Start gets doubled if the animation is created via Next. For example, Start=10 will in fact start the animation from the 20th (0-based) frame.

This also has some impact on Animation Looping, see: Animation Looping#Bugs.

It will inevitably insert an even frame (0-based) / odd frame (1-based), thus preventing you from controlling the looped animation to stay on a specific frame.
