adjust length(time) of multiple, staggered layers together…

[Angie Taylor]

Hi there,

Select all the layers in the Timeline. Hover over the end of one of them till you see the Trim tool. Click and drag the edge of the layer and all the others will follow.
Hope this helps 🙂

cheers,

Angie

Thanks for the reply Angie…

I wish I could describe this better…. I already know about that, and now that I’m thinking about it, After Effects itself may not be able to do what I’m asking without a script, or expression.

I am trying to stretch the clips as if they were one unit, not a bunch of separate layers who’s out points are just dragged out. Say I had 3 clips staggered so the next one’s in-point was at the out-point of the previous clip. I want to try to grab the endpoint of the 3rd clip, drag it out to stretch the time, but have the in points move with the outpoints, and all three stretch equally.

Slide your Time Indicator to the position, then press Alt+]. This will snap all the selected layers to the indicated time.

Hi, I know this thread was from years ago, but I think I have the answer if people are searching for the same thing. If you select all of the keyframes that you want to edit, then hold “ALT” and select/drag the last keyframe of the selected, you can compress/expand all of those keyframes at once. I hope this helps.
