Pre-composed Expression
This has been driving me crazy for a few days and I feel like it is something very simple that I just can’t seem to find the answer too. I have rotating wheels on a bicycle and I used the expression below on the rotation property in order to have the wheels repeat their rotation for a certain duration and then stop. Works great, but the layer this happens on is in a pre-composed comp which is nest in the main comp. Trying to be organized except when I switch to the main comp the wheels do not stop rotating like they do in the nested comp. I’m guessing that I need to link the main comp with the layer somehow or vice versus so that the main comp can recognize the layer with the expression?
if(time < 17.9){ loopOut("cycle")} else(rotation)

I’m not seeing that behavior (CS4). It stops in the main comp as well.

Are you using time remapping or shift of precomp layer on the timeline panel for the main comp?

Thanks for responding,
I’m not using time remapping or the shift of precomp layer. The Expression I used for the rotation is meant to stop at 17.9 seconds on the layer which it does in my project but when I switch out of the pre-comp into the main comp it doesn’t stop rotating the wheel at 17.9 seconds, it just continues to repeat.
