if I jsut read the value that inPoint provides, it is off by 2 seconds from the start of that layer. The layer is a precomp and I am sure it is some type of bug or something I am overlooking with the precomp. I will try on a new comp layer when I get some time, but thanks for your help as always to assure I am not crazy
I wanted to keep it simple to trouble shoot, so it is just on a slider control. if I duplicate the layer it works fine. If I copy the slider control to new layer, it starts 2 seconds earlier than inpoint of that new layer.
Whenever I make templates like this I tend to use the Color Control expression control instead. Then on top of Hue, saturation and brightness controls; end users can use the dropper to select colors.
did you want those exact numbers? How did you want to input the Numbers if not? For most cases I’d just use point text and press return to add more lines.
