(Comp) Start Frame question

[nab]

Not directly related to scripting, but...

In CS4, I can manually set the Start Frame (in the comp settings) to any non-negative number I choose to start counting from (as specified in the Doc).
In CS5, I cannot set the Start Frame to 0 ! (any attempt to do so will reset the value to 1). This problem doesn't occur when you are in "Timecode mode".

Am I missing something here, or is it a bug ?

You mean like this?

Code: Select all

{ 
	var activeItem = app.project.activeItem;	
	if (activeItem != null && activeItem instanceof CompItem) {	
		alert(activeItem.displayStartTime);	
		activeItem.displayStartTime = 0;	
		alert(activeItem.displayStartTime);	
	}
}

Seems to work for me.
My guess is that your Project Settings: Start numbering frames at: == 1.

Oops I see you weren't talking about scripting. But anyway, you can't set the comp display start frame earlier than the project setting in CS4 either.

Thanks a lot Paul, problem solved !
Indeed, "Start numbering frames at" in the project settings was set to 1. Sometimes all these settings everywhere drive me nuts
