Join Angie Taylor for an in-depth discussion in this video Duplicating compositions with nested comps, part of After Effects: Creating Project Templates.
- It can be difficult to keep track of things…while you're working on Template projects,…particularly when you're experimenting…and coming up with some of these example projects.…We're using a technique here where we're creating…new compositions from a combination of other compositions.…And you'll see here, we're coming up with new ideas.…And you can see, I've got a few examples here.…Now, problems can occur if you've got multiple examples…using the same elements.…Notice that this one here has got the dotted circle.…
And also, this one has.…OK, this one also has.…So, we've got three compositions there,…all using the dotted circle.…Now, if I'm to open the circle of dots…and make a change to it, so, if I make a huge change,…make the size so big that we can't really…see the dots anymore.…And if I go back to the other compositions,…you'll see that it's updated in all of them.…So, not only if I made the change in the one…that I intended to make the change in,…I've made a change in all the other compositions, as well.…
