Want to trim a composition by 9 frames at the beginning and end using Automation Blocks

Hi!

I'm having difficulty finding a way to trim a composition by 9 frames at the beginning and end using Automation Blocks.

I'm seeing a way to set the work area, but not a way of automating trimming to a work area.

Ideally, I would just like to trim a comp removing the first and last of 9 frames.

Thank you!

There is no way to execute the "trim to workarea".

You need to change the duration of the comp (make it 18 frames shorter) and then change the start time of all layers by -9 frames to move them over.
