Has this bug been reported already?
No, not at all.
Describe the bug
There are certain instances where you might need to add empty frames (e.g. 
) in a certain clip. But when it comes to exporting the video or clip, a crosshair appears in the empty frames of the clip(s), as seen in screenshot 3. No matter what I do, the crosshair would always appear in the final export.
The crosshair also appears when you set the animation style of the clip to “Single Frame” and set the frame to that of the empty frame(s) or toggle “Synced” on and hover over the empty frames, as seen in screenshot 2. However, it would delete itself when you enter the timeline of the clip(s) and hover over the frame(s) that is/are suppose to be empty or select the crosshair and delete it (screenshot 1).
To Reproduce
To see it for yourself:
- Go to any newer versions of Wick Editor (or any one of its forks)
- Create a new project
- Set the background of the project to a darker color.
- Create a clip of anything really and inside the timeline of the clip, add one empty frame of reasonable length.
- The rest of the steps are explained under the “Describe the bug” section.
Expected behavior
The crosshair of the empty frames of your clips shouldn’t appear in the final export of your video, as the bug doesn’t happen with empty frames in the main timeline, nor does any crosshair appears.

Do you have a suggested solution to this issue? (ex. has another program fixed this bug a certain way? Are you familiar with where in the code base someone would need to fix this issue?)
The crosshair shouldn’t fill up the frame, nor be its own clip. Rather, it should be a part of the background to suggest that the frame is empty, like that of the broader crosshair in screenshot 1. This bug should be fixed or at least addressed by the Candlestick team by the next update, as Wick Editor is no longer being updated.
