  • Trim out shortcut leaves a frame at the end. Why?

    Posted by Balazs Frank on August 10, 2010 at 7:56 pm

    Hi,

    funny thing: when I trim the out point of a layer with the Alt (Option) + ] shortcut, it does trimming, but always leaves one single frame behind the trim point. Why does it work like this?

    thanks,
    B.

    The Out point is the _beginning_ of the last frame that is played.

    In AE, the cursor on the timeline is at the beginning of a frame and not at the end. So whenever you are trimming you have to cosider the last frame, that frame which is after the cursor- that should be easy enough since that is the frame you see in the viewer anyway.
