AE help: Cannot extend layers time

[puffnstuff]

I imported a AI file and I put a layer in the timeline. I cannot get the time to extend. I have tried changing the "in" and "out" as well as pulling it all the way down it won't do it.

edit: figured out you're suppose to import first then create a new comp

You can also extend your Comp time after placing vector then extend its length.
AE imported static images as well as Solids/Text/Camera/Light/Adjustment Layers will always default to the Comps actual time length.
After that you can edit the time length to whatever your wishes
