Comps and Precomps timeline off by 10 seconds
I have been having a very weird issue. I have 2 precomps brought over by Premire Pro’s dynamic linking (Cam A and Cam B) my issue is every time I go from the main comp into a precomp and then back again (sorry if that is confusing) the time is off by 10 seconds and 16 frames. I am a seasoned After Effects user so I have checked all Comp settings for FPS, Time, 8bit and everything else I can think of. Any help would be much appreciated Gurus

Is there a difference in the start times (first frame timecode) of the comp and the precomp?

Yes, all nested comps start at 0 on the time line and the comp setting are all the same as well as the bit ratio. It is an unusual problem, I even copied the nested comp and placed everything in side of it and still had the issue.
I am compositing animations on video with one comp as camera A and camera B and the animations applied to the main comp. Every time I double click to enter the camera A or B the time code changes 10 seconds….very annoying

When you double-click, is it showing the correct frame? In other words, is it just the display of timecode that’s off, or is it actually offsetting in time?
Do you have Preferences > General > Synchronize Time of All Related Items set on?
