How to change duration of a generator without changing animation speed?

Hi guys,
I just built a motion generator to use as a backdrop behind green-screen footage. The duration of the generator is two minutes and there are some animated items in it. Most of the animation has been done using behaviors.
If I now import the generator into my project timeline and shorten or blade it to fit the duration to the clip above, the animations all speed up. The whole animation of the two minutes is squeezed into the now shorter generator.
I'm sure there must be a way to fix this on export from Motion but am too blindfolded to find it.
Any ideas? Help is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Seb

Okay, I figured it out. In case anyone has the same question:
1.) In motion, in your project timeline, make sure nothing is selected.
2.) Move the playhead to the end of the timeline and add a marker (this has to be on the timeline and not a specific layer so step 1 is crucial!)
3.) Right-click on the marker to edit it and change the type to loop-end.
That's it. After saving the generator now acts as I wanted it to.
