    Want to learn AE the right way? Join me! www.udemy.com/...
    Copying over compositions from one after effects project to another after effects project might seem counter-intuitive and hard to perform. In reality Adobe prepared a special function which is called "collecting" the elements we need to be able to open it in another project. This way will allow you to copy over only the composition you need instead of importing the entire AE project. It will collect all neccesary comps and layers for you!

    I appreciate you taking time away from playing bass for the Red Hot Chili Peppers to make this video.

      I realized I wasn't as good as I would hope with it, besides...it got kinda loud u know? and tedious. I shouldn't say, but Antony was angry with me for some time. I need to chillout making tuts and then make a big comeback!

    1000 thank yous for this. In my sloppiness I let an AE project get massive and bloated with comps and files, resulting in 2 min save times. Using this tutorial I separated comps into individual projects made it possible to work frustration-free. Great tutorial.

    • @andrewpach

      Glad it helped! Thank you for this kind comment, I'm glad it is helpful. Remember, that you can also slim down your project by going to Dependencies > Reduce Project to get rid of unwanted content that isn't used.

    Thank you so much. I started using After Effects with the mentality that it's Photoshop for video and animation

    • @andrewpach
      @andrewpach  5 років тому +2

      Well basically it pretty much can be but it has so many own quirks and solutions that I can't really call it a photoshop for animation :D But yeah, it's a mutant that is for sure!

    Bit late to the party and thanks for video. Very helpful. I would add that the composition has to be selected in the project panel and not on the the time line to get the only this com option. I'm new at this and couldn't figure this out. Thanks again.

    You don't need to collect the files. That just makes redundant copies of files that are already on your computer. Just drag and drop the after effects project containing the comp into the project you want to use it in. To clean up, select all the comps you want to keep in the project and do File>dependancies>Reduce project... or don't.

      Hello mate, while I appreciate and approve this comment I wouldn't tell "you don't need to collect files". There are different approaches to doing plenty of things. Let's say you have a huge project with 2000 elements. You don't want to drag & drop that into your new, already heavy project again to clump it up, then delete and possibly make after effects crawl like a snail. Your method is perfect, sometimes, but collecting items is also viable. Also, you must know that Reduce project doesn't always work 1000000% perfect, some projects are complicated and too many things are left over. It's a matter of preference but ANY AE user should know both ways - opening a project inside a project and collecitng items. This is supposed to be a tutorial if someone wants exactly that solution. Thanks!
