Thanks for your last answer. May I send you a short video of the problem that I'm having in after effects? I can't explain it too well but when I extend the time and the time indicator goes to the new frame rate, the image in the view area disappears.I don't know what my problem is. I tried following the guidelines for sharing a document but didn't understand it. Thanks

What image type do I use to send an image to you? It's from After Effects.

Hello,

I didn't phrase my last question correctly. If you'll notice that the three layers end at about 24 frames. When I hit the 'play' button, the time indicator goes to the absolute end of the timeline but after the indicator passes the '24 frame' point, the image in the viewer panel disappears for the last 6 frames. Why does the image disappear when the time indicator passes 24? How can I make the image remain visible throughout the 'sweep' of the time indicator? Thanks.

Hi there. Just wondering if you solved your problem as I am having the same problem. Original duration of the timeline was 20sec's and then I extended it to 25sec's. My image just disappears after 20sec's and not seeing out the whole 25sec's.

Any help?

I'm pretty new to AE, but it seems like your clips/layers end at the 24 (top) and 25 frame marks (lower 2), don't you have to extend them out now?
