Title: Why does After Effects cut some last seconds of video in Timeline?
UserDisplayName: Aksana Zinchanka
ThreadText: # Why does After Effects cut some last seconds of video in Timeline?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-08-30)
  
  I have a video asset that is 1:57 long. When I import it to AE, in Project window it suddenly shows that video is only 1:49;15f long! Why does it happen and how can I get my extra 8 seconds back?
  
  Those 8 hidden seconds contain sound that I need to work with.

  Try converting the video to Quicktime ProRes format, or another format that doesn't have intra-frame compression before you import it into After Effects.
