  • Maximum Allowed Comp Duration

    Hello guys, I found one interesting thing to share and discuss about comp durations.

    Most likely you saw at some point that maximum allowed time / comp is 10800 seconds, aka 3 hours.

    I didn’t find a way to set longer duration through GUI nor scripting.

    However, if trying to import project from Premiere, which are specifically made for +3H – this limitation of 10800 gets passed through. So lets say, comp of 5H’s can be achieved this way. But if you go to edit comp settings – it gets trimmed down to 3H baseline again 🙂 I would expect that importing of the project should fail (if 10800 limitation is real), but it doesn’t.

    Do you happen to know the reasons why it might be this way? This also works in the same way if you change display start time from zeroes – only 3h are maintained when done manually in AE.

    Cheers!

    P.S. No, I am not making 10h video yet, haha – but looking for options to a create long timeline (even though it might look not practical). Splitting it into multiple comps is doable, but thats not the point of this thread.
