Question

Why time remapping still leaves the last frame to be blank

Hello, I use time remape with loopOut().
But always I find that the last keyframe is at unactive time(frame), and that leaves an extra frame that is black at the end of the looping.
So I was wondering why aftere effects devs still leaves it, I don't see any reason for creating the last keyframe at exactly the end of the comp, even though the end won't show any frames.
I hope this change in the next after effects version.
what changes basicly?
when activating the time remaping at any layer, the last keyframe is on the real last frame, and no any extra frames when using loopOut().
Thank you for reading!

Remove the loopOut expression and delete Time Remapping.

Re-enable Time Remapping and jump to the second (or the last) Time Remapping keyframe.

Go to the previous frame and add a Time Remapping keyframe.  Go the the next frame, what's now the third Time Remapping keyframe, and remove the third Time Remapping keyframe.

Add the loopOut("cycle") expression back.

@Warren Heaton10841144 I know all of these steps.
I am asking adobe to make the default place for the last keyframe to be an active frame (the frame before the last).

Got it. Repost this as an "idea". I'll upvote it.
