Export Composition / Team Workflow
Hi-
I’m looking for a team friendly work-flow in After Effects.If several people work on one project, it would be great if one could export just ONE SINGLE composition that could be imported into the main file.
Basically what I would like to do is to work on a project that contains several nested compositions, ask a coworker to open a copy of that file, work on a specific comp and export that comp back to me. If I would re-import the whole copy of that file it would make my file big in file-size and messy quite fast.
Since there is no “Export Selected Composition” button we have to clean up the whole project by hand first in order to save a single composition and it’s footage.
Best,
H -

After some research:
I would like to use “Collect – For selected Comps” without having the footage collected too. The footage should remain linked to the original files. -

There’s not an “export selected composition” feature per se, but Reduce project comes close. From the linked page in the manual:
To remove unselected compositions and unused footage items from selected compositions in the Project panel, choose File > Reduce Project. This command is available only when the Project panel is active.
