To trim comp size to the available objects
Hello
I have some nested comps. Comp2 is inside Comp1 (main). The content of Comp2 are few objects, in the middle of a rather huge comp area (X/Y pixel dimensions).
Is there a way (with a shortcut perhaps) to shrink the comp size area, so it is as small as possible but exactly big enough to contain those objects? I know I can do it by manually by adjusting the Comp Settings and shrink down the Width and Height, until the Comp2 is of a decent size, but is there an easier way to do this? Maybe cropping the area, by cutting everything out, outside of the selection that i make (around the objects inside)?
This concerns me, because in the Comp1, the selection area of Comp2 is huge, and if I have several others objects, it is really hard to chose them by clicking on them in the work area.
Thanks in advance

I know that feature and that is not what I meant. I meant cropping the X/Y dimensions of a comp in the Work Area itself and not the Timeline.

You are wrong. After some further searching, I found this:
1) Region of Interrest (select a square around the objects)
2) Composition > Crop Comp to Region of Interrest
3) Done 🙂 -
