How to create a master comp with different multiple comps
Hello experts,
I have newly started using after effects and I am trying to create a compositions which would contain multiple compositions. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that.
To elaborate, let’s suppose I have made four different aep projects (eg. Anim1, Anim2, Anim3, Anim4) of same width and height 1280×720 px and 30 fps each 3 seconds in long. Each of them contains keyframe animations.
Now I have created a separate comp (e.g. master) of 1280 x 720 px containing 4 grids of 320×180 px each 30 fps and 3 seconds in duration.
I desire to bring in all 4 projects into master and resize them to the grid so that it looks like all 4 animations are visible from one single composition.
Is it possible in after effects? How do I split separate comps into the desired grid length,height and position?
If someone can please point me to the correct direction would be great.
Thank you in advance.

render all animations 1-4, import into master project, they will be 4 layers in the one comp. resize them to be the desired format : like this one would guess from the description

Drag all 4 precomps into the master comp. With snapping enabled, use the pan-behind tool (y key) to drag each layer’s anchor point to a different corner of the comp. Scale all layers to 50%. Here’s the end result:

hi Brendon
why do you put the anchor point at the corners of each like above? -
It’s a quick way to make sure the precomps land in the exact right place without needing to tweak the position.

ok, so you just drag them in and the anchor point makes it go to that place…nice…
oh, because you have snapping enabled…ok…smart, thank you.
