Changing comp duration with protected region

Question

Hi!

I'm creating a project and faced a problem I don't know how to solve or whether it's possible to solve at all.

Let it say for simplicity I have a rectangle scaling up in the beginning and down in the end of the comp and Fractal Noise on background with animated evolution through the whole comp length. So I have both In-Out and continuous types of animation together.

I want to be able to change comp duration by creating protected regions - intro and outro, where my scale keyframes of rectangle are.

The problem is when I change Comp duration with Intro and Outro markers it works fine for rectangle but it changes fractal noise in time making it faster or slower.

Is there any way to lock continuous animation from time remap making it just to trim according to Intro and Outro markers while still having ability to change the whole comp duration with markers?

Or maybe there is some other option to be able to control comp duration with both In-Out an continuous types of animation together?

The only way I can think of is to make the evolution an essential graphic property, you can then add a keyframes or a time expression when you add the protected comp to your other comp.

I feel like there might be a better way, but I've just tried out a few options and that's the only one that worked for me.
