making animation effect slower
this may be a stupid question. however, it’s my first time using after effects so i’m just getting used to the interface of it. i applied the zoom 2d transition to an image i imported and it worked. the only problem is that the animation starts too fast, and i want to make the it slower. right now, it lasts about 1 second, but i want to make it longer. how do i do this?

The transition probably placed some keyframes in the timeline for that image. Adjust the keyframes to change the speed of the animation.
If you’re new to AE, try some of the tutorials that are online both on Creative Cow and at other excellent sites like videocopilot.net. Also look for the Creative Cow AE Podcast, which covers basic and more advanced topics really well. Even if you don’t understand everything at first, those tutorials will give you a sense of how the program works, and can get you going really quickly.
Finally, sometimes the best way to learn something, for me, is to just play with it a bit – start clicking stuff and see what happens. The worst case is you have to hit Undo a couple times!
