Check if keyframe exists beyond the timeline?

[Panupat Chongstitwattana]

In my current project we have very tight instruction not to have any keyframes beyond the given timeframe at all. For example, if a shot lasts from frame 1 to frame 100, any keyframe beyond that (-1, 0, 101 or even as tiny as 100.1) cannot exist.

I want to create a script that would tell the animator if they have any of such keyframes. How should I approach this without having to loop through all objects or loop through the entire timeline and beyond?

Thanks.

I'd use the findKeyframe call with the which flag to find first and last keyframes in the scene then work from that.

cmds.findKeyframe(which='last')
