2 Project panels

[Brian Charles]

See this: https://aeportal.blogspot.ca/2011/04/etlat-edit-this-look-at-that.html

What you need to do is lock the the Comp viewer and choose New Comp Viewer from the Composition menu.

are we talking about the same project panel? I’m talking about where all my assets and folders show up. This tutorial seemed to be on composition and footage window.

My apologies, I misunderstood your question.

I don’t know of any way to have more than 1 project panel open.

You can only have one project open at a time. But you can import a project into another project. This will create a folder in your project containing the second project.
You can then copy stuff over, or do whatever.

Doing this won’t change the imported project. The contents of the imported project will simply be added to your project.

If I may ask, why would you want to do this?

[Mike Damian]

I have a project with 70 comps. pre comps and a few hundred images. It would be beneficial to be able to open a separate project window so I could navigate through my elements easier. Instead of opening a pre comp in a folder and then having to scroll way down to the images, or up to twirl down the folder. I could have each folder open side by side.

This option has been asked for in so many different apps and for me its Avid Media Composer.
With a dual screen set-up, I welcome having two Project panels in AE.

6 years on, and we still don’t have anything like Premiere’s lovely project panel in AE. Feel free to upvote my suggestion here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-ideas/better-project-file-bin-management-like-in-premiere/idi-p/14036445#M2387

Better project/file/bin management, like in Premiere

I find the Project Panel in AE very restrictive when compared to Premiere's Project panel. I wish AE had Premiere's bins, different views, etc. It gets very tedious having to double-click dozens of shots to see what's what in AE; … Continue reading
