ID 526010 - From Avid: Panel with camera move published as PNG + 3D Warp relinks to its original duration in Flix after being shortened in Avid

Follow

Problem summary
Shortening the duration of a panel with camera moves in Avid when it was sent from Flix with PNG + 3D Warp results in the panel relinking and keeping the original duration instead of versioning up. The issue does not occur when extending the duration.
 
Customer reported version
Flix 6.4.1
 
Customer reported platform
Windows10
 
Steps to reproduce
1) In SBP, have a shot with camera moves and panels being 24 frames ideally (also reproduces with other durations but easier to see with this)
2) Import the SBP sequence to Flix and publish it to Avid using the PNG+3D Warp option
3) In Avid, make one of the panels shorter, for example 18 frames - the animation is not trimmed, but sped up automatically when this is done as the keyframe values are the same but interpolated in a shorter amount of time
4) Publish this back to Flix
 
Expected behaviour
In Flix, the panel has the new, shorter, duration and is versioned up as new thumbnails needed to be generated for it
 
Actual behaviour
In Flix, the panel relinks and the duration is the same it was before publishing to Avid
 
Workaround
Changing the keyframe on the 3D Warp in Avid ever so slightly brings the shortened panel into Flix with the expected duration
