I am aware scripts for duration, but still there's the frame rate problem (and for every precomp). so for now you just have to pay close attention on import to see if you have enough duration and on current frame rate.

thanks Jayse. I am aware scripts for duration, but still t= here's the frame rate problem (and for every precomp).
so for now y= ou just have to pay close attention on import to see if you have enough dur= ation and on current frame rate.

I hate that too.=C2=A0

There's some ae = scripts that can fix it and the nested precomps plus layers etc. without to= o much hassle - but still - you shouldn't have to.=C2=A0

Good request!

hey guys,

I have been thinking about it for s= ome 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=C2=A0dialog bo= x=C2=A0on 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=C2=A0before 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 fool= ed by that one. and of course the problem depends=C2=A0
on how many pre-comps are there, but the frame rate can also fool you<= /div>
if you change them occasionally.

If I wa= s 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 t= oo often
I've already started and now I see got tons of pre-c= omps to extend.=C2=A0
(I can also re import after making blank co= mposition but its cumbersome)



what do you guys think?

am I right or am I right?
=C2=A0
