  • Loop with time remap missing some elements

    Posted by Finlay Downes on October 5, 2013 at 9:18 am

    Hi guys, I’m having some trouble getting ‘loopOut(type = “cycle”, numKeyframes = 0)’ to work correctly with time remap.

    Firstly I should make it clear that this is NOT an issue with a whole frame being dropped. I know that you need to add another keyframe just before the last one in order to stop that pesky dropped frame. What’s happening in my case is that the loop is mostly working correctly, but for some reason some elements don’t show up in the final frame (even though they should definitely be there).

    What I’m trying to do is create a line, with alternating colours that travelling along its length. I’ve done this using the stroke effect, creating six short pieces which time together to create one long pulsating line. In the very last frame of the loop, two of these pieces don’t show up, and I can’t figure out why.

    Any suggestions? I’d be very grateful. 🙂

    Show us a screenshot of your Timeline panel, including the relevant layers and keyframes.

    After you set a keyframe one frame before the final keyframe, did you set the value of the final keyframe to zero?
