Are you duplicating it in the comp timeline, or in the project bin?
If you duplicate in the timeline, you are making an exact copy, so anything you change in the duplicate will be reflected by the original comp.
If you duplicate in the project bin, you are creating a new instance of the comp, and any changes you make to the duplicate will not affect the original comp.
I think that’s right anyway.. Hope this helps.

This doesn’t sound right. Perhaps you’ll want to post teh AEP up for someone to dowload and take a look. If you do so, please specif the AE version.
