combining multiple projects & reducing # of precomps
I’m making one uber project where I’ve imported about 8 related projects. Each one of those uses the same precomps in their master comps. Therefore I’ve ended up with 8 “precomp” folders all with the same precomps but appearing in different comps.
Is there a way to just use one set of these precomps? That is, an easier way than “show in comp” and then replacing each and every one?

you can replace one footage(or precomp) just selecting it in the timeline panel and then selecting other footage(or precomp) in project panel and draging over original in timeline panel while press opt(ctrl on pc).

Thank you for your sympathy Dave. Unfortunately I was given a drive with all the projects split out. And for their purposes it makes sense, but for mine it would really limit how much I can do. So I’m afraid I’m stuck with the huge project.
I already tried doing the option drag thing and yes ran into the peril of replacing the wrong thing and deleting unused solids, etc and what did I end up with? A big mess. So I had to start over.
I will heed your advice and just live with the huge project. I have also posted to ae enhancers to see if anyone is familiar with a script that would accomplish this. I’ll let you know if I hear back.
Thanks,
