Today’s 30 second Flame Capsule shows a great technique to extend the beginning of composite either in the timeline or Batch using the BFX clip and Timing menus.

For example, you have been working on a composite with key framing and you’d like an extra few frames at the beginning of the composite. Adding frames to the end of a composite is easy but not quite so for the beginning of a composite. To get those frames, you need to slip everything down including footage and keyframes which feels like a big task. But using the BFX clip, you pull everything together and slip it to make room for the extra frames.
