Cannot stretch layers beyond a specific point in the timeline.

Question

Hello everyone

I painstakingly sought for a solution anywhere else and found no solution to this. Basically, my Timeline is locked at the point that reads '13:00f' and using Time Stretch cannot stretch all layers/any layers beyond this point. Also, Enable Time Remapping is gayed out.

Why does it have to be so difficult just to stretch layers beyond a point in time...??? Anyway, some advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the reply. I understand the duration of the comp is set to 199 frames in the Project panel in your example which may be converted into a different frame number by frame rate.

I wasn't aware at the time of posting this question that the number of frames in the Timeline panel could be expanded by changing the duration of a composition in the Project panel because I saw the Composition Settings option was grayed out for many compositions. Now that I mangaged to change the Composition Settings of a composition, the Timeline has been proportionately expanded.

Regards.

You cannot stretch a timeline beyond the comp duration but you can time-stretch or time remap any layer to any speed or any duration. I think you don't understand what you are looking at. I need a screenshot to know what you are talking about.

Here's a screenshot showing a nested comp (could just as well be footage) that I time-stretched from 199 frames to 10,000 but the total time of the comp is 199 frames. 199 frames could be 3 seconds and 18 frames or it could be nineteen seconds and nine frames depending on the frame rate, but time stretching would still slow down the action so one second of original real-time would take about 50 seconds of playback time even though the comp is only about 3 seconds long at about 60 frames per second.
