How to paste layer to multiple composition at once?

[Oleg Pirogov]

In case you’d like to use a script, it’s 2 lines of code literally:

for (i = 1; i<=app.project.numItems; i++){
if ((app.project.item(i).typeName=="Composition") && (i!=1)) app.project.item(1).layer(1).copyToComp(app.project.item(i));
}

This copies the layer (app.project.item(1).layer(1)) to all comps. That’s assuming that deleting it from the wrong comps is easier than copying it to the target ones.

Hi!

I’m hoping to paste a layer into multiple comps too. It sounds like this solution works, though could someone explain in a little more detail how to make the script run?

Thanks

could you please help in using this script, because I am a novice in scripting I can’t understand
the working of this script.

Could you give a hint on how to apply this?

What to modify for each case?

I tried and failed.

Thank you
