After Effects Template, problem editing.

Hey guys I downloaded a Audio Spectrum here : https://www.velosofy.com/template/xkito-music-audio-spectrum-free-template-by-ionut-e-qtph-1hkcvq

The problem is the composition in the template is 3 mins. only and my song is 4 mins. When I uploaded the song and changed the composition duration to 4 mins as well as the "Author" effect to 4 mins, the "Author" label gets delayed going on the "Spectrum holder".


What I mean is that when I don't change the "Author" duration, the "Author" label will disappear after 3 mins. since it was set that way. And If I change it, the animation gets delayed even though I changed the "transform" function of it. I am complete beginner btw and just bought the product yesterday.

Any idea how to fix this? The template is clean and simple and all I want is changed the Author, song name and composition duration to the duration of my song and not messing with the animations. Any help would be appreciated.

You must be very new to AE. You are never going to learn where all the switches and levers are located unless you start here: Basic AE.

To change the length of a layer or a comp you need to change the in and out points or change the comp settings. These are the most basic functions in AE.

Hey Sir, thanks for the replay. I have researched for the past hour that my problem seems to be in the "Time Stretch" and the "keyframes" are getting stretched too so the messed up animation occurs. Thanks I am reading lots of stuff right now.
