Extending Timeline

[askes]

I have searched for this but I haven't been able to find anything. Its a really stupid question, but I am in a bind if I cannot figure it out. The timeline in after effects in only showing 15 seconds of my clips. The zoom out feature will not allow me to zoom out beyond 15 seconds, and some of my clips are over 2 minutes long. How do I extend my timeline to the length of the clips.

thankes in advance.

Change the length of your composition.

Yer done.

And, if you drag your clip to this button:

AE will automatically create a composition to the exact frame dimensions, length, fps, and pixel aspect ratio as the original clip.
