High-Volume Photography: Keyframe Colors Explained – Indigo, Orange & Black Meanings

High-Volume Photography Workflow: Decode Keyframe Colors for Troubleshooting & Indexing – Ideal for Schools, Sports & Dance Projects

Updated today

When reviewing your Projects in Snapizzi, you may notice that some keyframes appear with different background colors. These colors help you quickly identify how each keyframe was created or updated.

Keyframe Color Codes

Indigo Keyframes
Created automatically by the Magic Keyframe button (time-based indexing). These let you skip shooting Snapizzi codes while still anchoring your subject series to the correct place.

Orange Keyframes
Added directly through the user interface. These are typically created when you manually assign or repair a keyframe inside the dashboard.

Black Keyframes

Generated by other system processes in Snapizzi. These may come from photographing physical cards, background tasks, imports, or automated repairs.


Why It Matters

The color coding makes it easy to see at a glance:

  • Which frames were added automatically by Magic Keyframe.

  • Which were set manually by you.

  • Which came from other automated processes.

This helps you troubleshoot, verify, and maintain consistency across your Projects.
