After Effects -- How do I mirror my composition?

[stellaritzbritt]

Hey guys,

I am working on a composition with motion graphic titles. I created a title that came from the left side to right. After submitting my project, my boss asked me to flip it to come from the right side to left. The issue is, this is pre-made motion graphic, where all of it's effects, shapes, everything is made to come from it's original left to right motion. I tried the whole distort - transform - scale - -100degrees, but that just flipped it over and messed up the characters of the words to read backwards. Then I manually flipped over the words, but soon after, I realized that the rest of the stuff was out of place bc it isn't supposed to be going right to left. Basically, I am desperate for some help. Is there an easy way to flip this? Do I need to be looking at rearranging key frames or something?

HELP!

Almost certainly not.

Show us the project, the setup, some screenshots, the export you already did. This could be many things..

If by this you mean that it's a video file, you are stuck.  Sorry.

If you mean something else, like you're using a template, please go into detail.  And yes, screen shots do help.  Don't skimp -- show the entire user interface revealing any properties you've keyframed or modified.

This might work. Precomp your entire composition. Then scale the width to -100% (width only). Then go into your precomp and do the same for all the text layers.
