    hi there

    Basically I have a PSD file that I have animated as a composition in AFter Effects but Ive now decided I want some more images on the left hand side of the image so Ive made it about 20cm larger, however when I go into After Effects everything I have done has been moved along (masking etc) so I dont know how to add the extra on…any ideas?

    Thanks

    Dan

    I would try leaving the PSD file the old size, take the images that you want to add to AE, put them on their own layer and center them. You can either write over the orginal file or save the new layers as their own file.

    Go to AE and import just the new layers into the existing composition. The old animation doesn’t change, you’re just adding a couple of new layers to it.
