bug in outPoint output
Hey everyone,
I was getting a wrong outPoint value in my expression
A=thisComp.layer(“Vibration Anim”);
A.outPoint / thisComp.frameDuration;As a test, I made a simple text layer and whip picked the A variable to a layer in my comp.
The inPoint will return the correct value but not the outpoint.I had to play and move a bit the outPoint to get it to return the right value….
is this a known issue ? -

In the graphic interface of After Effects, you will always see “one more frame” at the end of the layer. If you look at the exact frame where the layer ends, you will see that nothing appears in the viewer. However, outPoint refers to that last frame in which the layer is no longer visible. Therefore, if you want to know what is the last visible frame of the layer, you should subtract a frame in your expression:
A=thisComp.layer("Vibration Anim");
A.outPoint / thisComp.frameDuration - 1; -
thank you
I am aware of that,
I was getting a big gap in value.
and it was clearly a bug when I played with the outpoint trimming it fixed it and I was getting accurate values
