\item[Play backward] the frame to the left of the cursor in the timeline gets displayed.

-The reason behind this \textit{play} methodology is that you want to know what you just played so that you know what matches what you just saw/heard in case that is the desired stuff. You don't want the compositor to show you what you have not yet played -- you need to see this frame to analyze/check to see if it is what you want. This behavior applies to any playing operation, such as the \textit{keypad} or \textit{Frame forward / Frame reverse} buttons. You can still easily see the actual insertion point in the zoombar at the bottom of the timeline -- sixth button over or 3rd button from the right side. Also note the following:

\item[Blinking insertion point on the timeline] seeking/positioning was the last operation.
Since some users prefer the insertion pointer to reflect the same as the Compositor a choice is available. For playing forward, there is a preference option which results in what looks like 1 was added to the frame displayed in the Compositor window. To enable this mode, check the box \texttt{Always show next frame}, and this will be saved to \texttt{.bcast5}. The option checkbox is in the \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences $\rightarrow$ Appearance} tab and when checked, any forward \textit{plays} in the Compositor window show the same frame as you would with a seek. Reverse plays and plays using a selection or In/Out pointers (with Ctrl) work the same as without this preference set. But you will no longer see the odd behavior where if you frame advance forward and then frame advance backward, the displayed frame does not change -- instead it will change and look more natural.
A color indicator that shows in the main track canvas timeline and the compositor timeline reminds the user which mode is currently active. The cursor in the compositor turns \textit{red} for default mode and \textit{white} for \textit{Always show next frame} mode. The top portion of the insertion cursor in the track canvas mirrors this, with red for default and white otherwise.

Note that the insertion pointer in the main track canvas shows 01:20 but the compositor show 01:19 so you know what you last saw. Also, the cursor/cursor tops in both windows is red.

The cause of the issue is that X11 is RGB only and it is used to draw the \textit{refresh frame}. So single step is always drawn in RGB. To make a YUV frame into RGB, a color model transfer function is used. The math equations are based on color\_space and color\_range. In this case, color\_range is the cause of the \textit{gray} offset. The \textit{YUV mpeg} color range is $[16..235]$ for Y, $[16..240]$ for UV, and the color range used by \textit{YUV jpeg} is $[0..255]$ for YUV.

However, this automatic method leads to the dilemma of where you have a 10-bit media file and it would
get loaded as RGBA-8 when you would prefer it to be RGBA-Float. So instead of using \textit{replace current
project} when loading your media, you would have to make sure the project is first set to your desired
-Format. This could be done with the File$\rightarrow$New project and then setting your Color
-Model to RGBA-Float and whatever other parameters you want. Next when doing a File$\rightarrow$Load, use
+Format. This could be done with the \texttt{File$\rightarrow$New project} and then setting your Color
+Model to RGBA-Float and whatever other parameters you want. Next when doing a \texttt{File$\rightarrow$Load}, use
\textit{Append in new tracks} or \textit{Create resources only}. This avoids using the "best model"
technique and uses instead what you have designated so that if you set the Color Model to RGBA-Float that
will be in effect.
