Align with Video Frames for Sign Language
When trying to identity segments of a sign language utterance I think it is best to select in preferences "create annotations that align with video frames." For a 30 fps video, each frame length is 33 ms. If you are creating annotations that are not divisible by 33 then you are creating annotations that start or end within a frame. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense because there cannot be noticeable changes within a frame, right? Even zoomed at 1000% it is nearly impossible to find a frame's edge without checking the aforementioned preference.
Does this logic make sense to any of you sign language phoneticians out there?

Re: Align with Video Frames for Sign Language
That makes sense to me, and I would agree.
But, I would caution about not using one of the other related preferences. In the Preferences window, Media preferences, Media navigation, there is an option "Frame forward and frame backward jump to begin of next or previous frame". That sounds like it would make a lot of sense, but when I check it, then the Frame Right commend gets stuck. I can go backward by frames, but not forward. Seems to be a bug.
