    Extending layers

    Posted by Chris Burns on April 28, 2006 at 2:07 am

    I want to extend my comp settings from 30 sec to 60 sec. I have over 100 layers in the comp now and I was trying to find a shortcut or how to extend all layers to the new comp size without having to drag them out one by one.

    Can someone tell me how to do this?

    Set the length of your comp to 60 seconds.
    Select all of the layers (Edit > Select All).
    Place the current-time indicator at the end of the comp.
    On the keyboard, Option + ] (or Alt + right bracket)

    Much easier than dragging a hundred layers!
