  Change Comp Timeout on Multiple Comps

  Posted by Erik Franzen on January 31, 2013 at 4:35 pm

  I am working with a few comps that I reuse every other day for a video wall. But the video I use is always different lengths. Is there any way I can change all the Comp to match the new imported video. Right now I change them all manually. Also I always get just a blue background if I have to extend the time on them. and last is there any way to link them so when one changes they all change.

  Probably the quickest way to extend multiple comps & nested comps is to use a script. Either of these will work for you:

  rdCompSetter

  Christopher Green’s “Selected Comps Changer”.jsx

  Walter Soyka talks about the second one in this thread.
