When working with Time-Remap on a nested comp, I often need to use two viewports simultaneously. Currently, the “Synchronize Time of All Related Items” preference makes this workflow very difficult, since both viewports are forced to stay in sync.
The only way around this is to repeatedly toggle the setting on and off in the Preferences menu, which interrupts the creative process and breaks flow.
Feature Request:
Please add an override control (such as a checkbox in the timeline or viewport panel) that lets the user quickly enable/disable synchronization without diving back into Preferences.
This would allow:
Keeping one viewport at the master comp’s time while freely scrubbing the nested comp with Time-Remap in another.
Faster iteration when animating or troubleshooting nested comps.
A non-destructive, per-comp or per-viewport override instead of a global preference toggle.
Impact:
This would significantly improve usability and speed when working with time-remapping on complex, nested setups.
