Animate node bug

While working on a very short delay animation our animator encounter this issue :
if I keyframe it on 0 at one frame, they I jump to another frame to keyframe it to 1, it doesn't animate the transition. instead it deletes the old keyframe and overwrite the new value
Edit: problematic node is Material Mix node slider.

This looks like a Blender bug to me, I think I encountered it before.
It happens on all properties registered on custom nodes.

noted thanks BYOB !

BTW is there a node to randomize for example Material_Mix /mix_factor slider ?

You mean random for each frame, or something else?
You could do that with a driver (I think, if those aren't bugged as well).

Or you could write a script with a pre-frame handler which changes the value.

The animator said :
in cycles you have object info >random ,as node , and it gives a random value to every object with the same shader

Ah, random per object, you can do this with the object ID node in "normalized" mode.

Any solution or hack for this ?

We have to check if there's a report about it in the Blender bug tracker, and if not, create one.
There's no way to fix this from outside.
