    I’m a newb and wanted to know how to make the timeline of a shape layer less than the entire composition. I typically only use a shape layer for a second or two, but its timeline fills the entire comp. How do I create a shape layer for a few seconds without having to first create it, then going to the end and shortening it, then going to the biginning and shortening and then moving it into place? Is there a shortcut for trimming layers?
