It’s 3 years, but hey, thank you very much. Was just looking for this.

You should try (the 2. option). I applied it on all my present projects and it works since then without any issues. Also, how could you have a mouth or blink sequence without having it in a pre-comp?

I just found two solutions to this problem:

1. Render your pre-comp out and import the MOV-file again. If you have your mouth shapes or blinks as a video file the problem does not happen.

2. In your pre-comp open the composition settings with cmd+k (on a Mac) or ctrl+k (I suppose on windows) and open the advance tab. Select ‘Preserve Frame Rate when Nested‘. Then purge All Memory & Disk Cache (from the Edit/Purge option in the menu). This even works with several layers from PS or AI or what ever you have done to your pre-comp.

I really don’t know why, but both options have worked for me. Hopefully it works for someone else too.

Hi Dan,

thanks for your answer, but no, my comp and my pre-comp start both on ‘0’. Also, it seems more to be a glitch of the caching system. Or probably a combination between time remap and the caching system. I can clean all memory and cache and it turns to another combination then before. Also, hold keyframes are not respected. They suddenly change the blink to another frame. Very weird.

I just found this other thread and it seems the same problem, but on CS6. Is it possible that this never was addressed by Adobe?

I have the same problem and just posted a new thread (which I shouldn’t have) but I didn’t find this thread earlier. I use CC2014 with the latest update and I have this problem from the beginning. It doesn’t matter how many keyframes I use it just randomly takes whatever position of the blink composition I refer too. It does this with every puppet I create. Very weird, because I am following the steps exactly as seen in Digital Tutorials or others on Youtube. I thought it was a problem because the blinks and the expression were in another comp, but no, it doesn’t matter either. 🙁
