    Hello there,

    has anybody an idea how to change the position of 250 kompositions globally?

    there are 250 kompositions and I want the built up the possibility to set a specific position for all these kompositions at one time.

    is there any possibility?

    thanks in advance, Timo

    hello dave,
    thanks for your reply.

    the 250 comps aren´t nested into a main comp. they are all autonomic.
    and the footage placed in every single compostion needs to be moved for the same value.

    is there a possiblity to do this?

    best regards, timo

    You can do it simply with an expression – the expression below is placed in the POSITION field of the layer(s) you want to affect the position of, in each of the 250 comps:

    comp(“MasterPosition”).layer(“PositionLayerA”).transform.position

    Then you have one comp called MasterPosition, and a layer in that comp called PositionLayerA.

    Now, when you move PositionLayerA in the MasterPosition comp, all layers with that expression in any other comp in the project will move to match.
