Question

After Effects Keeps Changing Video Length to 1 Second

I had a licensing error on after effects so I decided to Uninstall and reinstall the program mid project. It was all working fine until I reopened my project on the newly installed after effects and the videos in the compositions I made either completely disappeared or is stuck on one frame. This is really frustrating as I spent days on this project so far.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: I've actually researched this a bit more and it turns out after effects is turning the imported clips into only 1 frame long, while the video i import is actually 2 minutes long?! I've tried it in several different projects but the same result each time.

Please help with this

This is probably user error having to do with the wrong option checked when you import. Without details, I can only guess but I think it has something to do with importing as an image sequence or some odd nonstandard video format.

I was thinking it was something to do with that but, The project was saved before I reinstalled after effects and once it was installed I opened the project without changing any settings and most my videos were set to "Duration 00:00:01" Would this be something to do with an update?

Without any actual info abou the items in the project nobody can tell you much. Of course it's likely that this may have soemthing to do with the changes for CoDecs and Quicktime, but who's to say? You simply haven't offered any real info.
