  • Copy and Paste layers from comp to comp? out of order layers?

    Posted by Matt Stoltz on August 1, 2005 at 6:37 pm

    Hey all –just curious –when i have to copy and paste layers
    from comp to comp (if I have to copy lets say 20 layers) how
    come when u paste then in the new comp they are always out of
    order then the orginal comp they were in –is there an easy way
    to put them back in order instead of draging the top layer to
    the bottom and so on …

    Just select the top one first — oh, never mind.

    You cross-poster, you. 😉

    interestingly if you command-click (ctrl click on PC I guess) the layers one by one to expand your selection,
    you can choose the order in wich they will be pasted.
    So if you click 1-4-3-2, then hit copy, and hit paste, you get that particular order, top to bottom.

    It’s not bug, it’s a feature
