  Adjusting timing in After Effects

  Posted by Qi jun Ang on June 28, 2015 at 7:52 pm

  Hi, this is my first time and Im glad to be in this community!

  Im adjusting the layers inside my after effects project to smoothen the transition in a video. In my project file, I pre-compose several layers as individual key scene for each individual segment of the video. This process is repeated and the main composition consist of several pre-comp layers within a same project file.

  The timing within the pre-compose layers are smoothen out and planned properly. But when I dragged these pre-comp to the main composition, the timing seems off and the animation within these pre-comp layers suddenly become faster. I calculate the frame timing in pre-comp vs the frame timing in main composition. And indeed its faster.

  I checked the composition setting of both pre-comps and main composition. same setting of 25fps 1080 hdtv. Do anyone know what went wrong and how can i even out the timing?

  If you’ve checked Comp Settings for both the precomps and main comp and they are identical then something else is amiss – source CODEC and possibly Expressions and/or effects are creating the issue for you. Do a double-check on these and if all fails, you may want to post your AEP for others to have a look-see.
