Create new composition links

  • December 25, 2018

I am working on a video with 2 separate shots.  I completed the effects for the first shot and wanted to save some time re-using those elements in the 2nd. This first shot was completed using 5 compositions nested simply 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5.

If I wanted to save time in creating the second shot some of the compositions/elements of the first, say comp #4, is it possible to duplicate them and the comp before them - and force AE to re-link to the duplicated comps?

The 2nd shot requires modifying some of the elements and I don't want the first shot to be affected, so without having to re-do alot of the work, is there a means within AE to force it to re-link to another comp nested within it?

Hope I'm making myself clear here.

    Or you can simply duplicate all of the comps in the Project Panel, or start a new project and import your first project.
