AE duplicating composition and setting it to be independent of the duplicated comp.

[Ryan28858553iog2]

Afternoon,

Im a ametuer at AE and I'm curious to know if its possible to duplicate a composition and make it independent of the duplicated comp such that when I change the picture to the "download on google play" image it will still contain the same animation but not replace the "apple app store" image.

Any ideas?

Appreciate the help.

Hi Ryan. Select the composition in the Project Panel - upper left of screen - then CTRL + D to duplicate it. Rename the new composition and open it. I presume that's what you are wanting.

I have tried this already and I keeps the two paths linked. So when I edit one it automatically changes the other. That is what I am trying to prevent I want them to be two seperate unique compositions.
