A negative time on import from Illustrator

Imported a vector file from Adobe Illustrator and One object came in with a neagtive starting time and ending at zero time.

Is there any way to fix or avoid this issue?

I have been unable to adjust the start and end times for this one object.

I have attached a snapshot of the issue.

I am using After Affects version 25.2.2 (Build 2)

Any insite would be helpful.

That's usually a result of accidentally pressing right bracket (]) without realizing it. Pressing left bracket ([) will set the Layer Time Span back.

I uploaded the artwork again with the above optons and the issue went away. Thanks!

You have imported the AI file as an image sequence. Try importing again and pay attention to the options when you import as a composition.

Two questions:

Would you be able to DM me that file?
It looks like all of your layers were imported as image sequences, rather than individual layers; was that intentional?

Thanks,
