Can't draw on frame Zero?

Can someone please tell me that I have misunderstood something basic?

I need to roto some timelapse party footage
So I got down some youtube clips for ref,
- loaded one into AS8,
- used the sequencer (for the first time - handy!) to shift it so that the action starts frame zero,
- moved along the time line a little
- drawing tools don't work
Please dont tell me that I upgraded to LOSE features? Maybe in Debut but why lock Pro users into drawing on frame zero only?
WTF! In what way does this even remotely make sense?
I have to go back to 5.6, lose the sequencer, to roto in an app which is not great for fbf? So what is it good for? Being locked into a strict morphing workflow drawing frame 0 and death shall us part? For GOODNESS SAKE

Have you unchecked preferences>Enable drawing tools only on frame 0?
