precomp is not working

[S001 A]

Hi,

I have applied some color control on a character's eye. Now I want to precomp it and duplicate for another eye. But When I precomp all the eye layers' color effects are gone.

what is the best way to solve this?  I need help. Please guide me. Thank you.

color controls for each layerprecomp ruins everything

Try including the Color Control layer in the Precomp.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Nishu

Your expressions controlling the color fill are broken because you moded the layers to a new comp. You can modify the expression in the pre-comp by replacing thisComp with  Comp("Your Main Comp's name") at the start of the expressions. You can also lock the Color Control effects panel, open the pre-comp, and drag the pickwhip from the pre-comp to the color control in the main comp.
