  • layer length in changed composition length.

    Posted by Ben Weller on November 2, 2008 at 12:55 am

    ok so i made a comp at 5 seconds long. then i put all my layers and stuff in and whatnot. now i changed it to 20 seconds long. unfortunately the layers themselves did not go to 20 seconds long, and stayed at 5 secs long.
    is there a way to pull them all up to 20secs all at the same time?
    i wouldnt mind doing it one by one, its just i have about 360 layers to get through.

    cheers, Ben.

    It depends on the kind of layers they are. Most layers, solids, pics, etc. can be extended with Alt ].

    So “End” get the time Indicator to the end of the comp, Ctrl A, selects all layers (deselect any of the ones you don’t want lengthened), then hit Alt ].

    So layers like video, that have a run time less than the extension you want won’t lengthen past their run time, but most other layers will work with Alt ].

    If you’re on a Mac it Option ].

    I tried it. I imported a photoshop composition and imported the layers. They only last 1 second along the time line. It did not last the length of the composition. Opt ] did not work. Please help.
    Thanks
