How to excerpt timecode data of nested, time-remapped clip?
Hey there!
I have a clip. That clip is time-remapped.
This remapped clip is nested in a precomp.
That precomp is put in my final comp and time-remapped again.Is there a possibility to get a CSV including the frames of my final comp and the timecode of my original clip?
I came up with this expression that I put on a text layer, which makes sense in my mind, but it won’t output anything, not even an expression error.
t = thisComp.layer("comp_containing_my_clip").source.layer("myclip.mp4").timeRemap;
valueAtTime(t);What am I not seeing here?

Just remove from your code
"valueAtTime(t)" -
By doing this I get the values of the nested, time-remapped clip, but not the time-code of the clip inside the time-remapped comp… You know what I mean?

I tried to make a graphic, I don’t know if my former explanation was sufficient…
I am trying to get the timestamp of my clip after time-remapping it twice.
With the code that I posted earlier I only get the timestamp that it has in Comp A, but not the one in the topmost layer, Comp B.
I don’t get why my valueAtTime() doesn’t make any difference!
Can somebody point me in the right direction? -
Whoever comes here to find an answer: I just found it.
a=thisComp.layer("comp_containing_my_clip").timeRemap;
a2=thisComp.layer("comp_containing_my_clip").source.layer("myclip.mp4").timeRemap.valueAtTime(a);//give out seconds
timeToTimecode(t = a2, timecodeBase = 60, isDuration = false);
