how to create a watch folder in adobe after

If I needed to create a unique copy of Scene 3 - ext tat removal that uses a different version of layer 3 in Scene 3_11 Repair Comp 1, then I would have to duplicate Scene 3 -ext tat removal, and Scene 3 -11, and Scene 3_11 Repair Comp 1, rename them all and replace each of those nested comps with the duplicates. Here's a flow chart I used in a different thread showing how you find a layer that needs to be fixed. Start with the flow chart, find the comp you need to duplicate, then duplicate every comp in the family tree until you get to the comp that you are going to render. To keep things straight it is critical that you carefully pay attention to the asset names in the project panel and carefully rename them so you can keep things straight. True Comp Duplicator automates this process. You replace an asset in the timeline by selecting the layer in the timeline, then select the new asset (comp) in the Project panel and drag the replacement asset to the timeline while holding down the Alt/Option key. Then you have to open the Title 02 Copy comp and replace the Title_02 comp with the Title_02 Copy comp. You have to look at the flow chart to know what comps need to be duplicated, then you need to work backward and replace the nested comps in each comp that was duplicated.įor example, if the Text comp is in the Title_2 comp and the Title_2 Comp is in the Title 02 comp then all 3 have to be duplicated, then you have to open the Title_2 Copy comp and replace the Text comp with the Text Copy comp.
