Offset effect has different behavior with LoopOut expression than expected?

Hi,

Im trying to use LoopOut("continue") expression on the Offset effect, AE 2017.

The problem is that it seams the continue loop has some relation with the Comp size vs the Layer Size.

If ratio is the same the offset effect continues at the same speed, If ratio is smaller or bigger the speed is smaller

or bigger respectively.

Does any one has a solution?

Thank you

Glad you found it helpful! If you don't mind marking it "Helpful" and "Correct" in case another user has a similar issue that would be great.

Per the issue with the loopOut("Continue") :

     I was able to replicate your issue, I'm unsure as to whether it would be considered a bug or not.

If you use : loopOut("offset")

     Your progression will remain linear regardless of the layer resolution.

Hey Coresmith, would be helpful to have more info on what you're attempting to achieve with this.

From the looks of your images, it may be more prudent to use a time based expression if you want the value to increase perpetually (ie. [time*50, 500]

Effects are always relative to the layer size. Of course this will affect certain calculations. Nothing unusal here.

Thanks for you reply.

Im sorry, but that is not true.

In cs6 that didn't work like that.

Second, all the idea of loopout continue expression is that it holds the same velocity at the last keyframe.
