Time remapping with a layer's last frame is highly unintuitve
Reporting this as a bug since I can’t see that’s it’s a “feature” or has any use whatsoever.
Enabling time remapping on a layer automatically places a keyframe at the in and out points of a layer. Great.
Except that the keyframe at the END of the layer apparently does NOT hold the last frame when that layer is extended in time -- simply dragging out the out point of the layer means you will get empty black frames. In order to FREEZE the final frame of a layer, such as for a hold, it’s necessary to step one frame back, set ANOTHER keyframe, then delete the auto created one. Then dragging the layer out will hold the final frame as expected.
I’ve never, ever had a scenario in 25 years of work in animation where I’ve wanted a time remapped layer to behave the way that it does by default, and it becomes tedious having to deal with this over and over, and sometimes even gets overlooked then resulting in headscratching as to why, e.g., a precomped layer that’s been time remapped upsteam then shows black when you are expecting a hold frame.
Please fix this, it’s been around as long as I’ve been using AE which is a very long time indeed.
