  • 29.97 loop issue with shape layer / trim paths

    Posted by James Schofield on April 10, 2024 at 10:32 pm

    hello! wondering if anyone can help me.. i have to create a countdown at 25 minutes, 29.97 drop frame, theres also a shape layer circle that has trim paths animation to wipe the circle fully every second, the trim path is using the loop out expression. the problem is, it doesn’t wipe to the full circle every second, at random places it ends up going to almost a full circle, then the next frame it disappears. then a few seconds later its back again, it also goes out of sync not hitting its full circle on the second.. im positive its something to do with the 29.97 frame rate.. is there anything i can do about this? the countdown seems to be consistent

    any thoughts? test project attached

    I would love to help and analyze this thing but I am unable to open the file since so you know, in order for me to view all the elements, if you have imported any image files to the project for example, I would also need access to those image files in the correct directory in order to view it so ideally you can attach a zip file with the After Effects projects alongside all the files associated with the project so I can locate it when me or anyone else wanting to help you on this can open it. Hope it helps, if I can see screenshots or a video clip of the issue, I can see what I can do to analyze the problem better and help, not just with words. Hope to hear from you soon!

    I’m sorry.. I do not understand your response. The after eff3cts file is right there including the only elements you need to see the problem.
