  Changing fps from 25fps to 30fps and locking keyframes and edit points to the nearest integer frame number

  Posted by Christopher Johnstone on February 11, 2013 at 5:44 pm

  Hello,

  is there a way to lock keyframes and edit points to integer frame numbers?
  I am converting a heavily keyframed comp from 25fps to 30 fps and need frame accurate edit points and keyframes.

  I was hoping an expression or a script may save me a lot of time and effort.
  Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

  Many thanks – Chris

  That’s a tricky one. You might be able to come up with an expression that remaps everything to the nearest frame boundary, but you would have to apply it to every property that has keyframes.

  A script can’t move keyframes, it can only create new ones and delete the old ones. To be a general solution, it would have to examine all properties, which would make it a moderately complex script.

  No easy solutions that I know of. You might check aescripts to see if a script for this already exists.

  Selecting the keyframed properties would be a relatively straightforward task if there was a script. Yes I took a quick look at aescripts, no luck on first look, will take a closer look.
