time remap: need to know how to do it Right
This has been annoying me forever, and I couldn’t find a solution by searching. Most people just want to know what it is.
Here’s what I’m doing now so you guys can tell me what I’m missing:
I have a composition with it’s animation. It’s 30fps if that makes a difference, not 29.97
OK, animation is done, but now I need to extend it, so I hit Ctl+Alt+T to add a time remap.
It comes up with the keyframes for me. I go to the time I want to extend to and hit Alt+]
Now I have to hit ‘j’ then pageUp, insert a keyframe, and delete the last keyframe. If I skip this step it repeats a blank frame.
First my question is, why the blank frame? And then, how do I avoid this in the future?
At first, I thought maybe it was because it’s trying to repeat from After the last frame, so I extended all the content past the end of the layer, but that didn’t help. I do time-remaps a LOT, and it’s becoming a bit of a time waster for me.

You’re doing it right – that’s the way it is. There’s other ways to get that new keyframe in, of course, but that’s the way to go.
I just hit O to take me to the clip’s out-point, add a keyframe there, delete the final one and get on with things.
Cheers,

wow, that really sucks. If most people are doing that you’d think they would change the way it works, or write a script to do in an alternate way.
I wonder if it can be done fairly easy with an expression. That way you could create an animation preset for it maybe?
I’m not sure how to write a script that would do that. It would basically need to say, @ last keyframe value – 1 frame.
I could get the value – 1 frame part I’m sure, but don’t know how to not run the script until the last keyframe.
