Question

Markers are not visible in main comp

Hello,

As my illustration has many layers, to have a good arrangement I precompose related layers and then started my animation. But the problem is when I use markers in the precoms they don't appear in the main comp. Is there any way I can see them in main comp?

 

I don't wanna break/ ungroup/ uncompose my precomps.

 

Thank you.

Markers don't update interactively. Comp markers will only be converted to layer markers when the pre-comps are added to the timeline. For anything more fancy you will need to find a script at AEscripts.com.

Oh okay. Thank you so much. Can you suggest any script? I mean name, I don't have any ideas.

I usually just drag the pre–comp back into the main timeline whenever I need to update markers, though if yo uhave to update them a lot that could get annoying.
