    I recently bought a template online that is drag and drop. Everything works great but I want to make the comp longer keeping all layers and keyframes in tact. Is there SIMPLE SOLUTION?

    Note that the method I suggest won’t work on every template – in particular, templates that employ 3D space can break apart when cloned.

    Hey Mark, Thanks for the precision. I was actually trying to retime the Text Rack Focus template but couldn’t get through…Do you have a method to modify timing with 3D templates?
    Thanks a lot

    Generally you need to diving into the groups and layers and figure out the parts you want to extend – no easy solutions.
