> My current timeline is 20F, and I don’t know how to switch to seconds instead. I’m looking for a 6 second timeline.
You can change the duration of a composition in the Composition Settings dialog box.
You can change time display units to show seconds instead of frames.
You say you “tried google”. I recommend using the After Effects Community Help search. It’s a lot more focused than just searching on Google.com, but it does search the Creative COW forums, After Effects Help, and a bunch of other high-quality websites about After Effects and related software.
