How to move audio into a PreComp and keep it in sync
I often have this problem: I’ve consolidated some layers into a PreComp. I’ve been working in the PreComp for a while and realize I need the Parent comps audio in the PreComp.
Every time I copy and paste the Audio Layers, they come in at random times, not sunc, and so I have to slide them around, go back to the parent comp and listen to both at the same time till they sound in sync.
Does anyone know the best way to copy and paste Audio layers from a Comp into a PreComp and paste the audio at a predictable place?
Any help would be much appreciated… Thanks!

Have you noticed that when you select from top to bottom it keeps the order of the clips you are pasting when you copy? As apposed to selecting from the bottom up which reorders clips.
Also if you add any length or move clips around they will obviously fall out of sync.
Generally when I pre-comp I just dup the audio and lock it as the bottom layer. I turn the video off and physically lock it so it will not move out of sync. So pre-comps and master comps have the audio and it never moves.
Hope that helps.
Thank you

You could try precomposing the audio layers into an “Audio Comp” and using that in your main comp as well as your precomp.
