Save and export individual compositions within a project to be used in other projects?

[Steven5FE3]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if there were a way to export individual compositions that I have made within a project to be reused in others as a template. I remember having done this in the past by selecting a composition, going to file -> Dependencies -> Collect files, but now, even when I choose "for selected comp" it collects media from the entire project. For my specific case, I made a looping animation of a squiggly line in its own composition that I would like to reuse in other projects. Is there any way to export this composition individually from the project as a whole to be reused later on? Thank you in advance!

You can make a copy of the project, and instead of choosing "Collect Files," you can choose "Reduce Project." Make sure your desired comp is selected in the Project panel before running this command, as it will delete everything in your project except the selected comp(s) and any related assets. Then you can collect the files if you need.
