Let's say you want to scale down the size of your composition timeline. So we
don't want it to be as long, we know that we can go into the Composition
Settings and hit Ctrl+K or Command+ K and change the duration of that
composition. But what if I wanted to start later. Well I can drag the Work Area
bar in little bit. Let's drag the end in. Let's say that this Work Area bar is
what we want our composition to be, want to be cropped to this area. I can just
right-click on the work area bar and select Trim Comp to Work Area. And it's
almost like a crop of time. If you are more of a menu person, you can
go to the Composition menu and select Trim Comp to Work Area there as well. Now,
I am going to show you a practical application to this in the next movie, but
I want you just be aware of that you can Trim A Comp To A Work Area. I find this
feature very helpful and again we will see that in the next movie.
