Question

Manually extending the audio

I wanted to know how I can import an audio track and have it fully shown? Whenever I drag and drop any audio into a fresh project it always has the audio in the first frame, forcing me to extend the audio manually. Which is fine for a very short clip but horrifying when I want to make something longer than like 30 secs or even 1 min.

Please help me out here. I really wanna start animation but this just doesn't work for me

    Yep that's how it is for no discernible reason. This is one small quality of life improvement Adobe needs to add to the program.

    Well because technically is not an issue, it just requires you to expand the frames manually, it's more like an annoyance.

    You know if you have multiple frames selected and hit F5, it will insert that many frames instead of just a single frame. So it's easy to add a large number of frames quickly.

     

    Or, you can just scroll out into no-frame land, select a frame, then hit F5 once to add frames all the way out to that point.

    So there's no way to have the audio be extended to it's full length automatically?
