Rotation resets to 0 after one lap

When using the rotation tool (W) to rotate a layer, after completing a full lap (360deg) the value resets to 0 instead of 1x+0.0

Once the rotation surpasses 360deg, the value snaps back to 1 lap plus however many degrees rotated.

I encountered it after trying to rotate a layer 360 degrees over time. Since the value resets back to zero no extra keyframe is being set.

Hi @zsaaro,

This issue with the Rotation tool was fixed in the 24.2 version of After Effects, released in February. Please let us know if you continue to experience this bug in version 24.2 or later.

 

Thanks again for reporting this,

Hi @zsaaro,

Thank you for reporting this issue. We've been able to reproduce it as well and will be investigating a fix for a future version of AE.

 

Thanks again,

Update - this seems to only happen when holding shift while rotation with the Rotation tool

Simply put, my expectation when spinning a layer 360 degrees in the viewer is to spin it 360 degrees, and not to reset the layer's rotation to where it was.

 

You are correct that my stopwatch wasn't enabled in the video,

that's why I described in the body of my post that even when the stopwatch is on, a new keyframe is not being set, as a result of Ae resetting the value to 0.

Your stopwatch isn't even eanbled, so I'm not sure what you expect to happen here. Seems you have a misunderstanding here.
