Trimming selected layers by keyframes, markers, etc. with Automation Blocks?

[PolyArtboard]

Hello, is it possible to trim the in, out, or both points of selected layers? Trimming by keyframes, markers, mattes, parent chains, selected layers, and visibility.

Thank you

That's a great idea!

I just implemented a tool which sets in and out points based on the visibility of the layers.

To figure out, if a layer is visible it

1. checks if the bounding box is inside the comp or entirely outside (only for 2D layers)

2. checks if the scale does not equal 0

3. checks if the opacity does not equal 0

I recorded this quick demo video for you:

Very exciting and unique feature, thank you.

I implemented a second one now, which

- sets the in point to the first keyframe or marker, which it can find on the layer

- sets the out point to the last keyframe or marker which it can find on the layer

Thank you so much
