Help AE layers wont show a certain point in composition

I'm trying to extend the duration of my layers on AE but when I do. They become transparent even after increasing the duration of the whole the composition. I have manually extended the layers but they dont show past a certain point in the timeline. What could be the problem?

Hi khanyi_8995,

 

Thanks for writing in. What kind of layers are you trying to extend? Are they Text layers, Shape layers, or something else? Can you share a screenshot of your Ae Interface that shows the problem?

Let me know.


Thanks,
Nishu

Thanks for getting back. Are you using expressions on the layers? If yes, could you let us know which expression? Also, a screenshot the full After Effects UI would be helpful.


Thanks,
Nishu
