  An expression to control the Playhead’s position?

  Posted by Phil Johnston on February 11, 2013 at 12:23 am

  Hi, I’m wondering if it’s possible to control the position of the playhead via an expression?
  My scenario is:
  I’m using the paintbrush tool in AE CS6 – I want the playhead to automatically shift to the latest keyframe created on my layer after the completion of every paint stroke.

  Hitting “u”, then “k” is my work around but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas 🙂 Thanks!

  No. Expressions can’t move the current-time indicator. They can only set a layer property to a value.
