keyValue() return wrong value

[Airweb_AE]

When you move a layer on the timeline, keyValue() may return an undesired value.

tested with AE 2024 and Beta.

var proj = app.project;
var thisComp = proj.activeItem;
var selectedLayers = thisComp.selectedLayers;
for (var i = 0; i < selectedLayers.length; i++) {
  for (var k = 1; k <= selectedLayers[i].text.sourceText.numKeys; k++) {
    alert(selectedLayers[i].text.sourceText.keyValue(k))
  }
}

I can confirm that behavior. Does seem to be a bug.

Hi @Airweb_AE,

Thank you for reporting this issue. It appears to be new to 24.2. We now have a ticket open and will be investigating a fix for a future version of After Effects.

Thanks again,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team
