Automation Blocks - Un-precompose

[Franz Tomandl]

Hi there!

Wasn't there a tool to un-precompose with Automation Blocks? I remember asking for it before, but can't find it. In any case, can it be created for un-precomposing multiple layers at the same time? 

It becomes very useful when I take a lot of texts from Pr to Ae an they come like this 

And this are not in the same timestamps, each one is separated so the un-precompose should paste the elements on the same time too.

Thanks a lot and sorry if this is a repeated topic. I tried looking for it

There is a Copy or Move to Parent Comp tool, to move individual layers out of a precomp.

Oh, but it gives me this

What I need is to select all those precomps and take the content out in the same place in time they are inside

This tool expects you to select a layer inside the precomp. If you want to move all layers out of all selected precomps, you would need to change the block code.

Oh! I don't have much experience with code. Can I copy it and make a new one starting from there? What should I change exactly? I'm willing to learn

[Mathias Moehl]

It is a bit beyond the scope of what I can explain step by step.

To get started with writing the block code, watch the tutorials in the section "Ae - Writing Custom Tools" in the documentation:

If you need help, you can also hire someone who is either implementing that for you or is explaining you in full detail how to do it yourself:
