Comps Affecting Precomps in Them?
I’ve got a bunch of precomps within precomps within precomps within my main comp… you get the picture. Anyway, I know that it will need to be retimed with time remapping to match a to-be-recorded VO. Some of the precomps already have time remapped elements in them–when I do a more global time remap in the main comp, will it actually affect the originals within the precomps, or will it do the math to a render file that is generated when a precomp is put into a comp (like render files in FCP, I’m not sure if AE does that or not)?
I posted this originally in the basic forum, but methinks this is gonna get more traffic here, here’s a link with maybe a better statement of my question…

Thanks Dave. Wish I had the actual VO (I have a temp one, our talent is flying in from LA in Nov.). Lots of the time remapping I’ve used is actually for effect (sped up blurry motion, btw — I’m loving Re:Visions Motion Blur). Some of the time remapping will be to make it all fit perfect. It’s approximate right now. I guess my question has more to do with how AE actually functions. Does AE work with render files like FCP does? Are there certain settings that are applied down through the precomp sub levels (like motion blur)? You said that image quality suffers, so that makes me think that AE isn’t referencing the actual footage… So let me get this straight, retiming should always be done on the most specific level of composition possible for the best image quality?
