do you mean you need to type vertically?

to type letters use the “typewriter” preset.

if you need anything else, try to further illustrate your problem. maybe with an example to what you are trying to do.

this works in my system. I have got a dynamic link comp in Premiere. as soon as I change the resolution popup, it gets updated.

see if your workflow is the same as this:

[Lance Hitchings] “If I simply change the frame rate in the composition settings, AE keeps the duration and discards the extra frames.
“

Ae will not discard frames but you now have frames taking more time so you have to make the composition’s duration to accommodate (make it 30 seconds)

Dave’s last response at the end of the thread could probably work for you too (and will be faster) i.e creating a new composition out of a correctly interpreted footage and replacing it with the composition in your timeline via Alt+drag or Ctrl+Alt+/

let’s do this the manual way step by step to see we are on the same page.

1. here I have an imported sequence of 720 frames @ 30 fps. I create a composition from this sequence same like you did by mistake

2. I want to fix that. first thing – interpret footage and set the frame rate at 24fps instead of 30

3. now I need to adjust the composition accordingly. in the composition settings I set the frame rate to 24fps AND also set the duration to 30 seconds

extend the duration of the layer to the end of my timeline

now I have a 720 frames @ 24fps at 30 seconds duration.

what do you say?

here’s a name your own price script that enables you to do this to multiple comps in one setup

definitely you should create backups for your projects. usually if I want to stay organized and create templates I would not use the increment method. but to keep organized I would create a folder called “Old” and save other versions.

[Lance Hitchings] “Composition is still set at 30 fps and 734 frames long. How do I change this to 24 fps, so that the footage is still 734 frames long and plays for 30 seconds? “

I see. btw I accidentally send the wrong screenshot. oh well.

if you want to change the composition frame rate you do that in the composition settings

so if you change it, you now will have an interpreted correctly sequence in the same frame rate composition.

let’s try to break it down. look in your project window and highlight your footage. you will see the information about your sequence. see if it’s interpreted correct:

if it’s not – use interpret footage to interpret it correctly.

now drag in into a new composition icon. or right click -> new composition from selection

it will create a composition of the same duration and frame rate. now you can render it. assuming you don’t change your render settings to something else than “best settings”, it will render in the same frame rate.

import the sequence back to Ae and see it’s identical

try to find where in these steps is the problem and report back to us. maybe send some full screenshots.

let’s break it down. the round stroke is simple enough. a shape layer with just a stroke

the second shape is the outer red color. a solid layer with a mask and a feather. this is the first mask. the second mask is set to subtract and you take the path from the shape and paste it to the mask path so they would be the same. or better, link them by an expression (alt click on the shape mask path and drag the pickwhip to the mask path)

set the blend mode to linear light and reduce the opacity

don’t re-scale. there is a bug in the recent version that dynamic link get’s the resolution from the pop up window in Ae and not the composition resolution. the workaround is to set it to full, and the dynamic link will refresh to full as well.
