    How to split a comp

    Posted by Stephen Reber on August 13, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    OK, I feel really stupid for asking this. I know it’s basic knowledge, but I forgot, and can’t find anywhere in my notes, or AE keyboard shortcuts.

    How do you split a comp using a shortcut? I’m talking about setting the timeline splitting the comp where you have the first half in one layer, and the second half in the next layer.

    Thanks in advance…

    Control Shift D is also a nice quick keyboard shortcut to use to divide a layer at the point where your timeline marker is. I use it all the time.
