OK, now that’s just weird… don’t know if this is a bug… or if my system sucks (could very well be the latter) but I was originally pasting the 20 second Auto-Trace layer from a 6 minute comp into a 1.5 minute comp. It was originally at the 9 second mark. When I pasted the layer into the second comp I could see the layer name to the right, but couldn’t see the file on the layer, so I hit Alt Home to bring it to the start of the comp. It would then be there but have no length at all.
So I tried pasting the Auto-Trace layer and then changed my second comp to 6 minutes and… lo and behold… the layer suddenly appears at the 9 second mark where it should… but it is only 1 SECOND LONG… can’t drag it to full length.
I guess one second is better than no frames… but it doesn’t help much when you need the other 19 seconds.
Just thought I would add this note to my process/frustration/confusion.
Any suggestions would not hurt my feelings one bit.
