    Hi everyone,

    I’m aware of the script “True Comp duplicator” but I’m not sure that can help me here… I created multiple comps in an after effects project for a single client. Now I need to extract each composite in the .aep file to individual .aep files.

    in other words. Each composite has to be standalone.
    Is there a way to do this outside of sorting through the comp and deleting things over and over again?

    You can do this yourself with judicious use of Reduce project [link], or you can use Sébastien Perier’s Save Comp As Project script [link] to automate it.

    I’ve been using “reduce project” but there are so many comps. reduce project, Save as, reopen rinse and repeat. It’s doable but arduous.

    I think Sébastien Perier’s “Save Comp As Project” will work perfectly.

    Thanks!
