Problems with video files?
When you replace the placeholders in a template with video files, you have to pay special attention to the length of the video. If your video is only 10 seconds long and is not shown in the main composition until 20 seconds, it will appear blank, because the layer will have ended after 10 seconds. After Effects offers a technique that allows you to control time through keyframes called Time Remapping. Using Time Remapping you can make your video file play at the exact time you like. For more information on how to use Time Remapping please see the After Effects manual or help file.
