Extend Layers / Extend video length

Hey,

I have a 10 second video that I want to make 14 seconds. Attempting to extend the layers but click + shift or alt only extends the back half of the layer.

If there is no work around, in the future, if I make an animation too fast, how can I quickly change the layers to add 2-3 seconds to the whole thing and not just display the last layers for the addition time? 

Thank you.

Drop that comp in a new comp that is longer then apply Time Remapping to the nested comp. You could also just pre-compose all the layers adjusting the comp to the length of the layers, then apply Time Remapping. One TR is applied you can change the speed of the original comp without any problems. If some of the layers are video, you may have to experiment with different frame blending modes. It all depends on the footage.
