Bugs in Anime Pro 6.2 Mac OS

I found an annoying bug in 6.2 - if to change numbers in 'Compositing Effects (animated)' window (Layer settings) there is no key 'dot' appear in timeline. Restart of program didn't help. Also I faced problems with sound using camera tools: stereo track turns into left or right channel.
In addition this new cycle system of v.6 doesn't improve productivity at all.And honestly doesn't makes any sense..
Working with plenty of sounds I had to start my project in 6.2 so I cannot open it in 5.6. Well, my fault. I feel like I have to suffer long-long time from now on.
If there is no way to make a final working version 6.. is it possible to make plug in to open project in 5.6 made in ver.6... ?!

* The sound is changing because of a setting in your audio layer. I don't have Anime Studio in front of me, but double-click on your audio layer to look at the layer tabs. Switch to the tab for audio and you'll find a setting that causes audio to follow the camera. Uncheck that setting.

* Before you can animate a layer's settings (as opposed to having them stay constant through the entire timeline) you need to check "Allow Animated Layer Effects" in the layer's General tab. When that is checked, changing layer effects (such as opacity, shadow, etc.) during an animation will produce a keyframe.

Cheers,
Muffy.

Thank you Muffy!
In audio layer there is one option to select/deselect 'spatial positioning'. Hope it will work now.
And thank you - yes, didn't notice a new tab "Allow Animated Layer Effects".
But still may be you know how to open new project v.6 in older version of Anime Pro 5.6?

You're welcome, Alexy! "Spatial positioning" is the setting I was thinking of, it should stop your audio from moving.

As for moving a v.6 project to v.5, however, I don't know...I started with version 6.1. Maybe somebody has made a script?

Good luck!
Muffy.
