make keyframe longer

[Jacob241703391h0s]

i want to make my keyframe longer, and so i press control and drag it extending it longer.... BUT IT DOESNT MAKE WHAT  PLACED IN MY KEYFRAME LONGER. As in  i have a character that i want his eyes shut for one second.. so i place a key frame and with the frame picker change his eyes to be shut then extend it with control/drag to one second long.... but his eyes are not shut for one second... its just shut for as long as the keyframe was before i extended it. BOTH ADOBE CHAT AND ADOBE CALL SUPPORT TOLD ME TO GO HERE and post it in the forum.

- THANK YOU

if you want something shown in a keyframe to persist for 1 second add 1 second worth of frames after the keyframe.

[Jacob241703391h0s]

There's got to be a FASTER way then adding like 10 keyframes and individually and then going one by one and adding it in.. that would take sooo long when in OTHER animation applications you easily just drag it longer to increase the keyframe to be longer.. NO WAY you have to add a redicoulus amount of keyframes and do it individually.    ADOBE is supposed to be an industry standard

calm down. no one said this is complicated or time-consuming 

add one frame 1second down the timeline in the desired layer.

[Jacob241703391h0s]

Okay my bad sorry,  I did that , now what should I do? 

[kglad]

do you see any problem after adding that frame?

[Jacob241703391h0s]

Yeah.. it's not doing it unfortunately, I added a key frame, then with a frame picker placed it in the frame ,and then extended that keyframe to the frame and it didn't work

[kglad]

no, that's not what was recommended.

how many frames per second is your app?

[Jacob241703391h0s]

Okay when I get back home I'll try this thank you I'll let you know how it goes

[kglad]

ok

[Jacob241703391h0s]

i thik its 24 frame per second 

[kglad]

add a frame 24 frames beyond the keyframe you want to remain on stage for 1 second.

[Jacob241703391h0s]

this might explain the problem in a better way 🙂

I want my frame to be a second long so i place the keyframe

and extend it to a second long using CTRL and dragging it. HOWEVER it doesnt make whats in the keyframe a second long,  for instance i wanted my characters eyes to be shut for a second long, so i place a keyframe with eyes shut, and then extended the keyframe to a second ....BUT my characters eyes are not shut for a second.

[kglad]

where did i say anything about dragging???

read carefully. it's simple.

[Jacob241703391h0s]

okay i added a frame 24 frames beyond the keyframe

[kglad]

and what do you see on those 25 frames?

[Jacob241703391h0s]

on thiose 25 frames it is blank io dont see anything

[Jacob241703391h0s]

the  timleine looks the same and no changes where made

[kglad]

how can the timeline where you added 25 frames look the same?  don't you see the frames you added?  ie, isn't the timeline longer?
