Scripting: how to access a layer’s source’s begin/end time
Hi all:
Given a layer in a comp, is there a way to find out the corresponding begin/end timecodes of its source footage? (i.e., this layer begins at its source’s 00:06:20 timecode). I guess what I’m trying to find out are the in/out points of said layer, but expressed not in composition time, but in source time.
Thanks in advance.

This is the only thing I can think of, but it may not be what you want:
sourceIn = your_layer.inPoint – your_layer.startTime;
sourceOut = your_layer.outPoint – your_layer.startTime;Dan

Actually, I believe that’s pretty much what I need. Thanks!!
(I had read about startTime in the docs, but didn’t really understand what it meant when it talked about “start time of the layer”…)
