Editing nested comps to sync with music
I’ll try to make this simple. I have a composition made up of two other comps.
Comp A is made up of a couple of effects that look like curtains opening.
Comp B is some sound effects.
I have both comps (a,b) in a ‘final’ composition.
Comp A which is the curtain, does not sync up with the sound.
So, in order for me to get everything to sync up, I have been having to flip flop between both comps and adjust speed or keyframes in comp A so it will look right in the ‘final’ comp. I have also been importing the sound into comp A temporarily just so I can get the speed and settings right, then deleting the sound so the ‘final’ comp looks just right.
Am I making way too much work for myself? Basically I want to edit keyframes, etc in comp A which is within the ‘final’ comp. Is that possible?

HI Frank.
also the beauty of using [comps] is that they can be “instanced” to other comps.
as in, if you were to insert [compB-with music] into [compA-effects], you do not need to “jump” between comps.
beauty of it is, say if you had to make some changes to music as well to get the timing perfect, you could adjust [compB-with music] to your liking within [compA-effects]. then it will update on your [final comp] as well since you are literally editing the same thing.
and once you are done, you could just delete [compB-with music] in [compA-effects].
anyway, point i am trying to make is that once “comped” they behave like instaces.
