Comp Length / last frame issue
I’m sure there a simple reason why this is happening but I can’t figure out why.
No matter what length I set my comp to in seconds I can never jump to the last frame of my movie.
For example, if I set my comp to 25 frames per second and six seconds long when I press the last frame icon in the RAM preview it jumps to 5 seconds and 24 frames and not six seconds, I can’t even scrub the CTI to six seconds.
If however I set my comp length to 6 seconds and 1 frame the CTI scrubs to six seconds and pressing the last frame in the RAM preview takes me to six seconds.
This is fine but then when I export my movie its 6 seconds and 1 frame long. Its not the end of the world but its just annoying when I then bring my movie into Final Cut for editing, I want my Intro created in After Effects to be 6 seconds long exactly.
What am I doing wrong or is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

AE defaults is set to start the first frame as 0. If you want the last frame to be 6 seconds when you create a new comp you need to change the start frame time to be 1.
You can change this at any time by selecting a comp and pressing “Cntl + K”

Thanks mate very much appreciated. I had seen the start time but I didn’t realise.
Cheers!!!
