Shades on the layer line after extended the time..?
I started a 3D animation project with a lot of layers. and in the middle of the process I needed to extend one of the layer from the beginning of the timeline (since I wanted to change the starting point more from beginning)
and since then, on the timeline at bottom of the layer slight shades lines appeared.. and as I had the effect on the layer(Write-on) I extend the effect also to the new starting point of the layer. but the effect doesn’t show on the part of the shades on (the part I extend). so I’m wondering whats happening to that part and is there any solution to solve this problem..thanks!

A screenshot showing your UI would probably help us understand.

The ”map acoustic” layer is the one I move the position almost every frame for the animation… and as you can see, the beginning to 30sec, the what I extend and you can see the ”layer slight shades lines”. And I wanted to use the ”Write-on” effect for the beginning of my project, but nothing appear… is it because of the ”layer slight shades lines” and why’s that?

Actually I’m moving the image, so the position is alway changing almost every frame. My in point, I needed to change it and do animation until the point that I started at first, that’s why I extend the beginning and my end point is ok…

Well, I just did a screen shot… my top view, I’m often changing it to see the different angle of my 3D… And yes I do know that I need to use 3D, since it’s 3D animation I’m doing… You just see a 2D on the screen shot….
Anyway, really the question is at the beginning up to around 30 sec… what is the ”layer slight shades lines” on the timeline… why it creates this when I extend the beginning?

That indicates that a layer has been extended before its natural beginning.
This thing with Write On looks like a bug.
If you move all your keyframes out of the slashed area into the clear area, then move the whole layer on the timeline backwards (V for move, not Y for pan behind or slip), then Write On should work as you expect.
