  • After effects export footage length

    Posted by Boris Rozhkovsky on August 31, 2014 at 3:05 pm

    Hi guys!
    i have rendered 200 frames in 3ds max,
    when i export them as a footage to after effecs i have layer 6 seconds length, and when i move marker to the end of the clip after writes that it is ~167 frame.
    In composition settings frame rate is setted up to 25 frames per second.
    As i understand it must be 8 seconds and 200 frames. So how to fix that? thank you.

    The frame rate of the imported image sequence is not controlled by the comp’s frame rate; it’s controlled by its own separate interpretation settings [link].

    Right-click the sequence in the project panel and choose Interpret Footage… > Main. For Frame Rate, click “Conform to frame rate:” and enter the correct frame rate (25).

    The default frame rate for image sequences is 30 fps. You can change this default in Preferences > Import. This will not affect sequences you’ve already imported — as above, use Interpret Footage for that — but it will affect newly-imported sequences.
