Automatically adjusting timeline on layer also adjusts timeline on base layer
Hi there... I noticed that when you right-click the timeline on a layer and select "Fit timeline to longest object", the base layer timeline is also adjusted to the same length. It caught me a few times when developing courses...
Hi William,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I can confirm that I was able to replicate the behavior using a new project file. I've created a bug report to notify our product team of the issue, and we'll be sure to leave a message here as soon as we receive any new updates to share.
Same problem: This issue is either back or was never fixed because this happens to me all the time. I'll get feedback that the base layer runs long. To avoid this, I have to make sure I set the timeline to longest object on the base layer AFTER I set it on all the others. I've gotten in the habit of going back and re-adjusting all base layers before I save/publish a file just to avoid this issue. So a fix would be nice!
Hi, AndreaDamewood!
Thanks so much for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. I ran a quick test on my end, and I found the timeline on the base layer isn't changing even after I set the timeline to the longest object on another layer.
