[@bratcave.studio]

Thank you, this helped me out a lot!

[@Shadoufang]

Clear instructions and all possible actions! However, this doesn't work if the precomp is a different size from the main comp.

[@ganeshsinghrautela164]

Thank you! Very much appreciated :)

[@user-eu5ep7ui8u]

how do you do this and retain any transformations or animations you applied to the precomp? I.e how do i break it apart in place with everything as it was

[@chrisathan4293]

Great help ! Thank u so much ! :D

[@itachiverse4288]

Thanks man ❤️

[@hedvigapjok7540]

🤩 thank you so much!

[@vaughngaminghd]

Thanks for this!

[@bobzhang5875]

thank you that very useful

[@IcyeFaethyvve]

Oh wow, didn't realize the layers were still there inside the pre-comp, not exactly what I needed, but helpful, thanks!

[@EdwardCotty]

This did help but is there a way to keep the keyframes

[@ucranet]

Thank you bro

[@ElyushiAndyra2006]

Do you how i can adjust the length of a adjusted precomp? I want to increase the length of it by dragging but since i precomposed it to adjust the duration of the layer i cannot resize it. Do you know a way to do it without doing the whole thing all over again?

[@fiddlep]

Thanks it save me time!
In PS we just have to press Ctrl+Shift+G, AE UI UX design is terribly bad that i have to search for solutions... They even not provide a button!!

[@hanily860]

Hey bro ! , i have a composition of 3d , i need to add text animation effects to it but all effects faild to work! , is 3d composition not accepted to [ effects & persist ] ?!

[@echichi]

hi

[@iikaos]

saved me alot tysm

[@mahx_ae]

Thanks

[@designnimbus]

Just copy assets inside pre-comp and paste to your comp. No need to watch 4 min long video for that.

[@lukeisawsum1]

legend

[@c.r..7m]

thank you a lot

[@Contier7]

thanks

[@sayer83]

Dude, either zoom in or read aloud what you're referencing. You're talking about "this right here" and the "this right here" is text in 2pt font.

[@chriscicchino]

thanks. i appreciate the feedback.

[@PaulFisherMedia]

so what do you do if there is 150 precomps and you want to extract them in the right timecode without having to do this one by one

[@chriscicchino]

Good question. Hopefully some new advances in Pre-Comps (and Un-Pre-Comps) are on their way. I hear you.

[@PaulFisherMedia]

@@chriscicchino the script from aescripts for this no longer works with newer MacOS

[@chriscicchino]

@@PaulFisherMedia uh oh. hopefully there is a new script for this or a potential work around for these issues. thanks for the info.

[@enaungong]

Un Pre compose at 1:36

[@dtbnash8004]

what if didnt click (move all attributes into a new compesition)??

[@chriscicchino]

Try it out and see what happens.

[@MAGAMAN]

@@chriscicchino We already know what will happen. You will lose any animation on the things you copy paste.

[@ritoseikatsu380]

Thank you!

[@chriscicchino]

you got it Rito.

[@swiss_thony]

WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF CTRL+C/V ?????????

[@thorlightning1249]

How to undo a precomposed layer 1:28

[@prcyy]

Bro just kept repeating the same thing w mans

[@tiggo1685]

w ily

[@MAGAMAN]

What a waste of time. That is no undoing a precomp, it is copying and pasting and will not fix a problem, especially when you received a mess of a project done by an idiot.

[@chriscicchino]

I am sorry that my 4 minute video was a waste of time. i wish there was a better way to Un-pre-compose but this is the current tool we have to use. good luck with your messy AEP.

[@user-uf4qu6el6x]
