How can I move the starting point of a text layer by using a script while ensuring that animation key frames move with the layer?

I used a script to move the starting point to 6 seconds, as shown in the following screenshot,

but the key frames for the Animator 1 did not move. I was expecting the key frames to move by the same offset.

inPoint and outPoint do not move layer, they simply change the layers duration. In your case you should probably use startTime property.

newLayer.startTime = 10;

Thank you for the reply. I started with the startTime property, but is didn't not move the key frames. I then tried the inPoint property, which also did not work.

Rather than shift layers, given that I can't figure out how to ensure that the markers move with the layers, I opted to create a layer per comp and render the comps.

Tom was right about the shifting the layer with the keyframes. Maybe you have forgotten to remove old statement.

This code produces the following result:

    var comp = app.project.activeItem;
    var layer = comp.selectedLayers[0];
          layer.startTime = 1;

Many thanks! For whatever reason, it didn't work for work.

I'll give it another try in the next few days and will let everyone know.
