Open Layer Source - Timecode does not match

[BenBH]

This is an ongoing issue that I'm surprised hasn't been raised before:

I have a nested composition with a time remap.

If I use "Open Layer" I'm taken to the correct timecode in the "Layer" window.

However, if I use "Open Layer Source" I'm taken to a completely different timecode in the source "Composition" window, and the playback head in the composition with the nest is teleported to a new unrelated position if I check back.

Additionally, if I have the two timeline windows open at the same time, moving the playback head in one results in a similar mismatched point in the other.

Yes you're right that a normal behavior in after effects

Ok, I'm glad to hear it's not just me.

Is this something that could be looked into please Adobe team?

Not being able to match-frame between nested compositions is quite problematic, and surely a relatively easy fix.

Cheers!

Hi Adobe Team,

Just following up on this.

Is accurate Layer Source match-framing something we can expect in an update? 

Or is there a rationale to the current manner of opperation? Apologies if so, I'm just struggling to see it.

Cheers!

I am also having this problem - BenBH, were you able to find a workaround or solution?
