Hi

It's probably your work area settings. You either set your work area to the whole comp or you can go into the output settings and set it for the whole comp.

Hope this helps,

Steve

hey thanks but I'm honestly got no idea cos i just got ae so would u be able to step me through how to find the work area thing and just like idk tell me what to do ahah thanks

Sure. You can set the work area in point to where your timeline curser is at by hitting the B key. The end of the work area can be set with the N key. You can left click on the work area to get options like "trim to work area".  One big shortcut combo you need to know is IBON. Select a layer and hit those keys (one at a time) and your work area will be set to the length of the layer content.

Hope this helps,

Steve
