You are right!

I hate that too. 

There's some ae scripts that can fix it and the nested precomps plus layers etc. without too much hassle - but still - you shouldn't have to. 

Good request!

hey guys,

I have been thinking about it for some time now and before I send a formal feature request
I wanted to pass this through you to check if I was missing something here.

does it seem to you also that AE's import dialog box on a layered Photoshop/illustrator
should contain a field in which you could specify the duration and frame rate
for a layered Psd or Ai file before AE actually made a composition?

AE gives you the last duration and frame rate used which is in my opinion
a high potential for a lot of trouble if you're not careful.

too often I get fooled by that one. and of course the problem depends 
on how many pre-comps are there, but the frame rate can also fool you
if you change them occasionally.

If I was aware before hand, what I do is create a blank composition, with
the proper duration and frame rate - and then I import the file. but too often
I've already started and now I see got tons of pre-comps to extend. 
(I can also re import after making blank composition but its cumbersome)



what do you guys think?

am I right or am I right?
