Automation Blocks - Set Start Time Question

Question

I've got a comp that is 23.976.

I'm trying to slip my "Work" comp one frame from frame 1000 to 1001.

I make a "set attribute>start time" block set to

The problem is that I get nothing. The frame seems to be just a fraction beyond frame 1001.

When I click the In Frame of my Work Comp and hit Ok with 1001.

I get exactly the expected result.

I'm guessing that this is a conversion between time and frames. I really wish I could "Set Time In" as frames rather than time, but I seem unable to do so.

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you as always.

Automation Blocks (like Ae internally) needs time values converted to seconds.

To convert a frame number to seconds, you need to multiply it with the frame duration or divide it by the frame rate.

The "convert time" block is for the opposite, i.e. to go from seconds to other formats.
