One addition to what @nishu_kush wrote.

You also have to extend every layer in the nested comp after you change the comp's duration.

If you nested comp includes other nested comps you need to repeat the entire process again on that nested comp as well.

Hi Maha,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Looks like you're trying to extend a Composition. You need to go inside the Comp by double-clicking and then go to Composition menu > Composition Settings > extend the duration as you like. Now you can extend the layer in your main comp.

Let me know if that helps.


Thanks,
Nishu
