Is there really no fast and easy way to duplicate and get independent sources?
So I’m starting to use templates I found online for my projects. In some packs there are multiple styles I can use, so when I use them I use the inbuilt options to swap between the different styles. I duplicate so I can get different styles in the video. But the nested comps within it stay the same, I could swap every single of them yes, but that’s so much effort.
the TrueCompDuplicator also doesn’t help the styles still change on all the duplicated comps.
After all those years of AE there is not duplicate independently option in AE? Can someone offer good help?

If you find one please post.
I just make templates of each one so that I don’t go crazy with nested comps. -
I tried that too now, but even as separated and should be isolated .aep files they still influence each other…

Hmm actually they shouldnt.
Ive done a ton of these and if you save each master as a its own template, there is no way for any precomps to lose its connection.

It depends on how the template was built, but it’s possible that some of the properties are linked to expression controls in a specific comp. TrueCompDuplicator would not address this automatically.
This is easy enough to build around from scratch, but if you’re using a template that is not build with this in mind, making the changes could be a lot of work.
Perhaps the path of least resistance is using completely separate AEPs for the different looks, and editing the outputs together in Premiere?
