  View Main Comp While Editing Pre-Comp?

  Posted by Eddie Kesler on April 20, 2010 at 2:45 pm

  Is there a way to view the main comp while working and editing a pre-comp? I want to edit some animated text that is in a pre-comp on a solid color background, but i would like to see how it affects it’s placement on top of some layers of video.

  Thanks in advance,
  Eddie

  Yes you can. In your comp window, click the lock icon to keep that view active, then switch to your precomp timeline.

  Adobe CS4, Apple FCS3
