Usually, you can duplicate a composition by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+D (⌘+D).
However, if there are nested compositions inside (text or images placeholders pre-comps) they will not be duplicated. It will result in problems when you’re changing the text in 1 composition, and it is changed in all copies.
We’ve developed a free script at AEJuice that fixes this issue. All you need to do is download our free plugin Windows, macOS.
- Run the installer
- Open After Effects
- Go to Window – AEJuice Pack Manager 4
- Select layers or open a composition you want to duplicate
- Press duplicate button
You’re all set. This button duplicates all nested compositions and relinks expressions automatically.
