yeah thats the thing.

the whole point would be to replace the comp layers b/c they had properties that are modified...

oh well, thought it was worth a try

thanks

im looking for a way to select a comp (template) and create a duplicate (wokring comp) that will also identify, duplicate, and replace all nested comps so as to create a complete dupe that does not rely on any of the originals precomps.

anything out there? at least as a starting point?

thanks
