@JoppeDnbCuyper - I would update my answer to reflect how to do the update, but Bart made a great answer with screenshots that show how to handle it.  If you still have any issues, I'd be happy to update my answer though.

<p>To answer your edited question:</p>

<p>If your footage is 15fps and After Effects thinks it's 30fps, you need to tell After Effects to re-interpret the footage.<br>
You do this as follows:</p>

<ol>
<li>Open the Project panel (by default on the left of your screen)</li>
<li>Right click on your footage and go to <code>Interpret Footage -&gt; Main...</code> as shown below.
<img src="https://i.sstatic.net/JehOz.png" alt="enter image description here"></li>
<li>In the screen that opens up input the desired framerate (15fps in your case) in the textbox next to <code>Conform to framerate</code>. Press OK.
<img src="https://i.sstatic.net/z7Yy0.png" alt="enter image description here"></li>
</ol>

<p>Now After Effects should know that the footage is 15fps.</p>

<p>I just started using after effects CS4, and created my first video.
But if i look at my final (rendered) video, its 2x the speed it was originally.
I recorded a 22 second clip, and traced etc.
Looked awesome, but after rendering, its only 11 seconds, so 2x speed.
Here's the video

            </div></div></p>

<p>The Cam is a Logitech C920 Pro HD Webcam</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>I found whats wrong, but don't know how to fix it. The recorded videos are 15 fps, but AE imports them at 30, how do i change that? Immediatly when i import, its speed up</p>

<p>How can i make it so it goes normal speed?</p>

The camera specs you've added are not very helpful, as they're a bit generic. Could you maybe add the camera brand and type? Even better would be if you would add properties of the recorded video, especially the framerate.

To answer your edited question:

If your footage is 15fps and After Effects thinks it's 30fps, you need to tell After Effects to re-interpret the footage.  
You do this as follows:

1. Open the Project panel (by default on the left of your screen)
2. Right click on your footage and go to `Interpret Footage -> Main...` as shown below.

3. In the screen that opens up input the desired framerate (15fps in your case) in the textbox next to `Conform to framerate`. Press OK.

Now After Effects should know that the footage is 15fps.
