    Hello friends :)
    Does anybody know how i can extend ALL Compositions and layers with a few clicks?
    I got some AE Templates for Instagram.
    But theyre all only 15 seconds long.
    When you open a layer, there is composition under composition under composition sometimes.
    And sometimes you need to go in 3 composition settings, need to extend them to 60 seconds.
    Then you need to extend all layers by pulling them longer layer by layer.

    Is there a easier way to extend a complete project with all compositions and layers?

    Thank you so much :)

    OMG, yes.... It works out of the Box :)
    Thank you so much anonymouse

    I found the collection of this guy before few minutes and it worked with selecting all compositions in the project folder:
    http://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/
    "Selected_Comps_Changer"

    But your script works, without selecting anything.
    It grabs ALL layers, comps, media etc and changes its duration to the value you enter and many more.
    Very cool :)

    Sadly His website is down. Thats definitly worth a donation from my side...

    Need to edit my Post.
    I just checked the rd_NewProjectFromComp.jsx.
    For example there was a template with ~100 Instagram Storys in one big project.
    Text layers were not in the respective comp folders.
    And now its possible to extract a complete comp (1 Story) into a new project.

    With the CompSetter im able to extend the complete comp in the new project to 60 seconds.

    Unlimited possibilities now... wow :)

    Okay, you made my day :)
