Is there a way to move everything forward when you stretch select layers?

Hi,
I have a comp with multiple animations happening.
At some places in the comp I want to make layers appear longer.
When I select these and stretch them - the remaining layers need to move forward in time to compensate.
This doesnt happen and so the stretched layers over lap with upcoming (in the time line) layers.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Kal

You can command-select the layers you want to move and drag them forward or backward in time. It's easy. There is no way that I know of to do this automatically if you stretch a layer. AE does not have insert-and-ripple capabilities like a video editor does.
Place or move a layer in time
The layer duration bar represents the layer duration visually. The In, Out, and Duration columns in the Timeline panel represent the layer duration numerically.
Note:
To choose which columns are visible in the Timeline panel, choose Columns from the panel menu, or right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a column heading.
These procedures move the entire layer in time.
To set the In point or Out point numerically, click the number in the In or Out column for the layer in the Timeline panel.
To move the In point or Out point to the current time, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the number in the In or Out column for the layer in the Timeline panel.
To move the In points of selected layers to the beginning of the composition, press Alt+Home (Windows) or Option+Home (Mac OS).
To move the Out points of selected layers to the end of the composition, press Alt+End (Windows) or Option+End (Mac OS).
To move selected layers one frame later, press Alt+Page Down (Windows) or Option+Page Down (Mac OS). To move selected layers 10 frames later, press Alt+Shift+Page Down (Windows) or Option+Shift+Page Down (Mac OS).
To move selected layers one frame earlier, press Alt+Page Up (Windows) or Option+Page Up (Mac OS). To move selected layers 10 frames earlier, press Alt+Shift+Page Up (Windows) or Option+Shift+Page Up (Mac OS).
To move the entire layer in time by dragging, drag the layer duration bar to the left or right. To snap the layer duration bar to significant points in time (such as markers, or the start or end of the composition), Shift-drag the layer duration bar.
Note:
When you drag a layer in the Timeline panel, the Info panel displays the name, duration, change in time, and In and Out points for the layer. 
Before and after dragging the duration bar 
Jeff Almasol provides a script on his redefinery website with which you can move selected layers as a group, aligning the group to a specific time in the composition.

  • Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

    Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

    I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.

    You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

  • Is there any way to retrieve old ringtones when you upgade to a new iphone?

    I just upgraded from iphone 4 to iphone 5. I lost all of my ringtones. Is there any way to retrieve them from itunes? I looked in my purchase history and all I get is music downloades

    If the photos were on the iphone when the last sync was performed, then you should be able to restore from backup.

  • Messages - Is there any way to resend texts automatically when you don't have signal, rather than having to constantly manually 'try again'?

    When i have no signal and send a text, a red circle appears, prompting me to manually resend the text when i find signal. I live in an area with varied signal so this is beginning to get frustrating. Is there any way to set the iphone so it will automatically resend the text when it finds signal again, rather than having to manually resend it everytime? Thanks

  • Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?

    Is there a way to move "back" and "forward" through the Library?
    For example, I'm editing Symbol_1, then I move to Symbol_22. Now to get back to Symbol_1 I need to find it again in the Library and double-click on it. Is there a shortcut for that?

    No, but you can always use the library search option to widdle down the number of items displayed. It'd be a good feature request as I find myself hopping between specific movieclip depths on common clips often. Sort of like a clip/depth bookmark.

  • I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

    Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

  • My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6  years.  We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc.  Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • Is there a way to move music from my Iphone 3gs to the Itunes on my computer without deleting it?

    Is there a way to move music from my Iphoe 3GS to the Itunes on my Windows 7 laptop? The hard drive of the laptop had been corrupted so it was replaced which makes the computer now register as being a new one alltogether.

    If you still have the old drive you (or a helpful friend) may be able put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

  • Is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

    Hello KM47,
    It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • My laptop screen when black now it will not turn on or off. And is there a way to see everything that has been done to my laptop at a apple store?

    My laptop has been in the apple store to be fixed more times in the past 2 years then you could imagine. They just replaced a defective wire in it, and hardrive not even a month ago and now the screen just went black and wont turn back on. Also is there a way to see everything that has been done to this laptop through the apple store?

    If I were you I would call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post in a polite way.  See what they can do for you.
