Can I save a composition as a different name, then import the saved composition within the original file it was created in, so I can modify for more text without it changing the original composition in the file?
Or is there a better method for duplicating a composition as a separate from its original?
I assume what you are doing is duplicating a comp layer.
Duplicate the composition in the Project panel, not froma layer on the Timeline.
When you duplicate a comp in the Project panel you are creating a new master comp which is separate from the original. You can change whatever you want in this copy without havign any effect on the original comp.
If you duplicate a comp layer what you are doing is making a new reference to teh original comp.
