| Although the preferred solution is fixing whatever is wrong with Element (which I don't have), one last-ditch idea might be nesting your "final" comp into a new comp, and stretching this layer (right-click on a Timeline column header like Switches and select Stretch) to fill your extra five seconds. AE will "sample" the nested comp as if it was merely a different frame rate (i.e. more often per second of the original comp), which will hopefully give you the desired result - unless you have any video layers in that nested comp, which will now also play back slower (I guess you could try frame blending those, but now you're getting further out on a limb).

Has anyone else encountered this?
I'm working on a commercial and the editor extended
the scene 5 seconds from the original time. This scene has several
element layers in it and before I had to extend the camera
movement, everything locked nicely to the camera as it should. Now
that I've adjusted the camera move for the longer clip, element no
longer tracks with the scene.
Here's what I've done to attempt fixing this with
no success:
deleting the camera and pasting a new camera in
with the new keyframes
deleting the caches (image and disc cache)
restarting the computer
The only thing I can do to fix this is to literally
start from scratch and paste items from the old element layer to
the new one. What's odd about this approach is that even with the
same information as the old element layer, I still have to adjust
things to place them approximately where the old one is. Shouldn't
the same data have the same result?
Here's the computer specs
Intel 980x i7
24GB DDR 1333 RAM
Nvidia 580GTX 1.5 GB video card
After Effects CS 6 (most recent version)
Windows 7 Pro (Service Pack 1)
Most recent drivers have been downloaded.
Any help would be much appreciated. I would hate to
have to recreate this whole project.
I'm about 3 more error messages from opening up my bottle of
Bushmills.
