How can i do this? (time question)

[Dale Kutzera]

Isn’t this a stop-motion style situation? Google tutorials in animating mouths and you’ll come up with a videos on the subject. Basically, the idea is setting up a comp with mouth phonemes in single frame sequence. Then you tell AE which frame of that layer to play at what point in time on your main comp. Might work for your situation.

“Time Remap”

Enable Time Remapping by right clicking on the layer >Time>Enable Time Remapping (this creates a keyframe at the beginning – keyframe 1- and another at the end – call it keyframe “z”) on the layer and set keyframes at the first frame you want to extend (keyframe 2) and the one after (keyframe 3). Then go to the next frame you need to extend and set up Keyframe 4 and after that one 5, and so on until you did this for all the frames you need to extends.
Select then all keyframes starting with keyframe3 to “z” and drag to the right as many frames as you need the still frame to be. Go then to next keyframe 5 and select all others after and move them to the right with as many frames as you need the second still frame to be and so on till the last frame.

Or in a more “dirty” way… if you aren’t so familiar with time-remapping, you could split the layer where the stops are to occur, and use the freeze-frame command.
