Hi @jvalal,

Thanks for the screen movie. You're trying to add a frame hold to a nested sequence and getting unexpected behavior. Is that right? Can you show us a screenshot of the contents of the nest? At the end of the Timeline, are those adjustment layers?

 

I apologize, but seeing what's going on without the project file to inspect makes it difficult to assist. Feel free to PM me a link to your project file (no media necessary), and I can have the product team take a closer look.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi @Kevin-Monahan This is not a nested sequence. Not sure where you see that. There are no adjustment layers. I'll PM you the project. Thanks!

    Hey Jason,

    Thanks for the movie. I hope I can help you. In the timeline, select the "lower third" - and then show us a screenshot of the Effect Controls panel. Are there any animated properties there?

     

    Then, in the timeline, double-click the lower third "nest." A new sequence should open. Show us a screenshot of what you see in the timeline there. Is the main blue graphic inside the nest?

     

    Is that "lower third" a third-party graphic? It does not appear to be a .mogrt. It's the thing that's not quite right with your workflow. Is it from Envato Elements? You may have to customize that graphic to make it lock into your existing workflow.

     

    If you can't trim a nested sequence and extend it in the main sequence, the content inside the nest has not been extended, either. You've got to step inside the nest and trim it out there; then, you can drag it out in the main sequence.

     

    To extend a simple graphic, you should not have to do a frame hold; only if it's inside a nest, as you have shown. Check it out; the feature is disabled for standard graphics files.

     

    Hope to assist you ASAP.

     

    Thanks,
    Kevin


    Morning Kevin - 

    Yes, they are "nested". In After Effects these are referred to as compistions and pre-comps, so when you say nested it's foreign to me. It sure would help some if Adobe standardized some of the taxonomy across your products. I'm sure there are pros and cons to this approach. 

     

    Back to business

    Yes, not envato, but Motion Array. See video showing the "nesting" in Premiere. It sounds like I need to make one of those layers longer? But not sure how that effects the Closed Captions blocking the layer.
