COW Reviews: After Effects After Effects 7

I view the ability to navigate two timelines at the same time, within one window a space saver. Would be great to add a dimming feature the for the comp that is not nested when you click on any layer inside of the nested comp (like Flash does with nested movie symbols). As more flash folk begin to discover the Power of AE I suspect this will become a more frequently featured request.

It would be intriguing to figure out how layers in that twirled open comp would behave when the comp has been time-remapped back and forth. This would basically call for a particular keyframe to show up in multiple places of the timeline, and if you change the value of one, it would also change in the other place.

It’s definitely an interesting thought, and I’ve requested it myself some time ago, but I’m also kind of curious how it would work in those situations… You might be able to create weird time-loops etc.
