    Drop Footage at Time Zero

    Posted by Stephenkortz on October 1, 2005 at 6:32 pm

    Hi all,

    I am trying to locate “Drop Footage at Time Zero” in After Effects preferences. It is supposed to be located in the misc. section of the preferences but I am unable to locate it. Has Adobe removed the setting or is there another location that I don’t know about?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Stephen

    I’ve never seen that in all my years of using AE. Sorry. FWIW, AE will default to dropping a footage’s in-point where the Timeline Indicator is located. If you want more finesse, then drag the footage towards the right-side of the timeline, where clips are placed, and you can drop the footage’s in-point anywhere along the timeline.

    You have to edit the preferences file. In [“Misc Section”]

    Change:

    “Drop Footage At Time Zero” = 00

    To:

    “Drop Footage At Time Zero” = 01
