Import a Composition from one project to another 'new' project in After Effects

[@TheDailyConversation]

Love your tutorials. Quick, direct, no messing around. Subbed.

[@IgnaceAleya1]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@CurtisEffland]

Why click on "Main Comp" when this imports ALL of the compositions in a project anyway, instead of just ONE composition from that project?

[@berniebro4202]

1:05 is where the tutorial actually begins

Thank you!

[@fwsimo2718]

Thank you very much, I had a big project that I worked on pretty quickly and I didn't feel like stopping to save my progress and eventually when I went to render my output module had an issue and I couldn't fix it without restarting after effects and losing all my progress. But this helped me keep the progress but in a different project

[@IgnaceAleya1]

Glad it helped you out! :)

[@stevendesigner]

Thanks!

[@3genei]

Thank you bro

[@jrc171974]

when I open the collected files they DONT HAVE the same attributes and functions, so frustrating....

[@gardenersdelight7479]

Just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you so much 😊

[@aymannishat2814]

[@marigoldmusic33]

thank you

[@nicolebry1120]

Thanks so much for making this video! Helps a ton!!

[@IgnaceAleya1]

Thank you! Glad you liked my tutorial :)

[@syberkitten1]

So you did not export only the selected comps but actually all the comps, so why specify selected comps only?

[@Shuka4Beats]

Thank you! Very useful tutorial:)

[@DARKDeadWeasel]

Thanks so much for this quick info!

[@jojostls]

Hey there and thank you for the video. What I want to ask you is if I can do this for a project I have created in after effects 2020 for after effects 2024. So basically I have created some projects in after effects 2020, but I want to download the 2024 version and what I'm asking is if in this way that you explained in the video will work for me, I want to import those projects from after effects 2020 into after effects 2024! Please, tell me if this will work for me!!
Thanks in advance. 🙌🙌

[@danger2997]

can you make a tutorial on how to add a trail to moving objects? to make sth leave a trail behind. or even other effects for moving objects
btw if possible without any plug-ins

[@growthexpert]

I want to copy the effects that I have done in one project to another. Any idea how to do that? Thanks!

[@zingo6999]

Suraj Sharma You can’t 😂

[@mitiris2000]

[@ileoart]

I've got here trying to figure out how to edit precomps that I copied from a template file to my current project. But I don't see the same panels as you Ignace.

[@mofumofu_station]

Great!!

[@antstock13]

Dope Mate, Ta

[@smyrkphace]

This didnt assemble the project for me, I had to copy the layers to the clipboard, import the folder to the new project, then paste to get the actual layers back.

[@jrc171974]

I don't have highlight it those options when collecting menu appears! How active them?

[@kaydos1267]

I'm trying to figure out how to move everything on the timeline another after effects project. If you have a solution please let me know.

Ok, but about the changes I made after importing, would they affect the collected composition or just the current project?

[@VectorLP]

Thanks alot dude :D

[@easyeasegraphics]

dependencies --> collect files.

[@Angelo-jj8jf]

how to put a transition template at the top of to another composition? please help this is very frustation.

[@fel1xzr412]

ily

[@JoeCARE]

good.. thanks..

[@SprunK__]

I get a bunch of errors when i do it

[@MindGem]

I dont get it! Day 2 with after effect for me and so far I've redone the same thing 10 times for different clips because I don't understand how to save tidbits and reuse them for other projects. So if I made a cool smoke effect in one project, how da heck do I save it so i can just open it up in a different project and have the smoke ready to be positioned? I tried what you said but that will open the whole composition side by side to my new one...so not in the same thing...or whatever. fuck. this app is a pain to overcome.

[@jimix8575]

I distroyed my entire project using this as it was substituted by the composition I wanted to copy and the auto-save folder is empty! be carefull

[@stickapot3623]

thank u!

[@IgnaceAleya1]

You're welcome :)

[@mohsinsadiq7725]

Never knew about this. I always just copied the contents of the composition

[@conesillyvalley7182]

Common sense 101 dictates that the "expert" should know to mention AE version number AT THE VERY FUCKING BEGINNING before rattling off to "teaching"

[@allinthemind2006]

HERES THE EASY WAY: DRAG THE PROJECT FILE FROM THE EXPLORER/FINDER RIGHT INTO YOUR PROJECT. THEN DELETE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THAT COMP YOU WANTED. TAKES WAY LESS BRAIN POWER

[@zingo6999]

allinthemind2006 Nope it wasn’t

[@vickyhaywood4221]

It crashed when I did that haha aghhhh

[@rajanshukla228]

you are fool if you are deleting other comps , sometimes they contain important element of main comp
