    In a single comp where layer 2 starts after layer 1 in the timeline is there a way to display two viewers… layer 1 at 5 seconds in and layer 2 at 10 seconds in

    thanks for any information

    hey,

    try the SNAPSHOT-Button, you will not be able to see them side by side, but you can click the button next to it to see the differences..

    Snapshot Button is in the Comp window,
    next to the TimeCode,
    if you press it once, you can hear a click sound,
    move to the point in time you want to compare
    the button to the right of the snapshot will show you the picture…

    hope this helps
    (english is not my first language… hehe, anyways, keep it up)

    Thanks Stefan

    It would be nice to have the images side by side but I can live with the way snapshot works.

    I appreciate your help and you English is perfect by the way.

    Thanks Stefan

    I did actually try the make thumbnail comp button from DVrebeltools but I get an error message when I try to open the thumbnail comp. I thought it might be a cs6 compatibility problem ? Either that or me doing it wrong…guess which one I know to be more likely : )
