Question
I'd like to make changes to a short movie in After Effects, but it only renders a small portion of it. How can I extend the timeline to render the whole movie?

Answer
Sorry Jim,

I was on vacation, and forgot to set my vacation settings....

To extend the timeline, you need to got to the Composition Settings.  I think you can select the Comp in you bin, and right-click on it, or find the comp settings in one of the pull-down menus at the top (I'm on CS4 and a few menus have changed).  

In the Comp settings, you can change the length of the Comp.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Andre'
