Who really wants a black frame or 1 frame of the next thing in the timeline at the end of your exported video?
FYI IDGF what the NLE "standard" that has been around forever etc etc, it seems more logical to be able to choose to alter the default behaviour of a outpoint for the sake of being able to easily export without including the frame at the playhead. please note - NOTHING to do with the behaviour of the playhead for editing which playhead inclusive is the standard and imo correct this is purely for export.
I remember posting about this too 2 years ago...
This thread just reminded me that I may have introduced black frames or frames from the next clip (or same clip) "by accident" while exporting with in and out points without zooming in each time and move the out point at the proper place! Because I forgot about this problem. Fortunately for me, I never needed "frame" perfect exports, or edits.

Nobody wants the next frame (or think they will have the next frame) when we set in and out points.
Every single person on the planet would never think that if you set a range... like
[****]**
you'll get
[****]* as a result.
The playhead is used to set things..."at the playhead", nowhere else.
If I want to set a marker, I move the playhead where I want to have the marker, and it's put right ON the playhead, not before, not after.
When I set an in or out point, I want the out point ON the playhead.
I'm pissed again now lol
I honestly forgot about it, my logic (shared with 99.99% of the planet) took over again, and I just set in out point, copy past stuff around.
If someone wants to work with precision, without having to constantly adjust the out point, they can't. How it works now slows things down so much.
I don't know man, at some point the logic got twisted, and people are defending it because they had to adapt to this twisted logic for many years.
I always read things like : The playhead shows "the next frame"... So the out point should include this frame - Without looking at what action the user wants to perform 99.9% in this case. Playing the selection in loop, copy-pasting, exporting. Nobody wants anything other than what's in the selection.
What we have to do now (if you don't forget like I did), is to ALWAYS adjust the playhead one frame before, before taping the "O" key to set an out point.
We shouldn't have to do that.
I mean,
when a clip is selected, and we tap the keyboard shortcut "X" to set the in and out points, it doesn't go beyond what we selected.
