Twixtor in AE question

I have done it many times before, you simply add time remapping to the layer, then you can extend it to whatever you wish. I never used a solid before and I am not sure it’s necessary. in the documentation AFAIK there was no such thing

It was certainly the case a few years ago. I’ve just had a look at a couple of tutorials and they say that you have to create a precomp first. But you’re dropping directly on to the footage?
It’s a matter of taste then.

Why would you need to precompose? Straightforward on the footage, I don’t know issues with it. Can you post the tutorial showing the precomp way?

you used to use a precomp and/or solid if you were slowing down footage or it clipped off the last third of the footage. i don’t know if they fixed that but I used it extensively.

Once I got used to using a precomp and/or solid I liked it. The solid I saw on the timeline showed what I finally got, and if I were slowing things down a lot (and with variations) it was easier to manipulate than working on the original footage would be.
If only the original footage were available to view on the timeline then I don’t know how I would have put in what would be sub-frame speed changes.
The solid with the original footage directly below also gave me an immediate visual reference on how much I’d slowed it down. Anyone thinking this clutters the timeline can always precomp the two.

please explain if you see a problem/disadvantages in this workflow:
a footage layer, I want to slow down, it ends at some point so I don’t have enough of the container of the footage, I use time remapping to get more container of that layer (without doing anything to the TR keyframes) so I can manipulate what I need with twixtor directly on the footage. this has always worked for me in twixtor (about a decade of use maybe more I think).here’s a recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f8-9dZ-V3pWOzMSuUiAZfgiRAlOFMotY/view?usp=drivesdk
