If you create an animated file in Adobe express and create a duplicate file of the same. The timeline control options - Adjust clip duration stops working.

Hi @Paula34235765me08, I tried replicating the issue mentioned, and it worked fine for me. Can you please share a screen recording with us so we can better understand the issue and the workflow? Also, please ensure you've toggled on the 'Show layer timing' button.  

 

Thanks!

Duplicating a file in Adobe Express can break timeline controls try creating a new project instead.

Thanks for sharing this, @joy_8282.

Also, duplicating a file shouldn't disrupt its timelines. I'll reach out internally to get more info on this and update here.

Hi Amitej,

 

Thanks for your response. It's working now, I didn't realise that the 'Show layer timing' button was disabled in the duplicate file.
