Duplicating a comp and its sub comps.
I have a sub composition which I have duplicated into another ‘main’ composition.
I want to be able to duplicate the main sub comp but also see what it looks like in the main comp also.
What I really want to be able to do is duplicate the entire comp with all the sub comps in it, so I can see the different versions however when I duplicate the main comp it is still linked to the original sub comp. Whats the best way around this?

Two options:
1) True Comp Duplicator: https://aescripts.com/true-comp-duplicator/
2) File > Save As…, and choose a new filename for your AEP. Select the comp you wish to duplicate, and with that selection choose File > Dependencies > Reduce project. This will remove everything from your project except the comp you selected and the items upon which it depends. Re-open your original AEP, then import the new reduced AEP to get the independent comp/precomp structure. You can re-import as many independent copies as you’d like.
