    It would be very convenient if I could, it would save me the time of moving keyframes for 60+ layers!!

    I wasn’t satisfied with how things looked. I need to change keyframes of multiple cameras, make things move faster etc. It would be very useful if I could just extract parts of the time line, so I don’t have to deal with layer keyframes later on the timeline.

    Sounds like a pre-comp question/problem to me. If you just leave everything where it is, set markers at the start/end of your work area, and precompose the layers in question (maybe after duplication, depending on your needs), the markers will show up in your precomp that you can then import back in (you have to do the markers first, not later, I think).

    This will give you a fair amount of overlap, but successful comps are built on precomps generally, not a single huge composition.

    Thanks for all the tips. In the end, I moved everything one-by-one, didn’t want to sacrifice quality over convenience. It was a massive comp with precomps, next time I should plan things a bit better!
