Default text layers timeframe in timeline to visible timeline
Hi Everyone,
I’m doing a large amount of editing and I feel the process is being severely elongated by a simple mechanic when adding a new text layer. When I create a new text layer, by default Adobe AE (CC) sets the starting and ending time of the text layer to the first and last second of the overall video being edited (min and max values of the timeline)
Is there a way I can make After Effects automatically set the start and end times of a new text layer to the visible portion of the timeline, and not the overall start and end times of the timeline?
Thanks very much everyone!

Thank you so much for this, it’s helped me a lot. Basically I was doing this the manual way, and that was causing me to take 10 minutes to do it, now it’s taking less than a minute!

Sometimes duplicating the layer can be helpful. CMD/CTRL-D and you can select layers using the numberpad.
