  Any way to “unlink” footage viewer playhead from comp timeline playhead?

  Posted by Alex Ezorsky on February 23, 2018 at 4:52 am

  Say I’ve got a 5 minute clip, I want to pull five 10 second pieces of it out and put them into my comp starting at the beginning.

  I put my comp playhead at the beginning of the timeline, I go to the footage viewer, set in and out points, and…wait, why is my comp playhead moving?

  Do I really need to set the comp playhead after every I/O point I set in the footage viewer? As in I will have to move my playhead back to the beginning in my comp 5 separate times, meaning I will also have to double click the asset and switch to the footage viewer 5 times?

  Is there no easy way to just tell AE to stop linking the footage playhead with the comp playhead?

  Thanks
