thanks Jayse. 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.

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?
