mirroring a composition
I did animation of a man walking, but for another scene i want him to walk the other way. Is there a way i can create another file of his walking the other way (a mirrored version)?
Thank you

Duplicate the composition and in its scale property uncheck the ‘hold proportions’ switch and change the x-scale value to -100.

Dupe the comp or layer.
Open the scale properties.
Unlock the scale property so that you can scale X scale without affecting Y.
Set X scale to -100%

im sorry, im a total newbie. This is in reply to your answer on how to mirror a composition.. you told me to duplicate the composition and change its scale properties. How do i duplicate the composition, and will that flatten the footage so that i can change it all at once?
i hope you understand my question… -
If you only want to duplicate some of the layers (your animation) within your comp, select all the layers you want to duplicate within your composition, and Layer > Precompose. This will create a ‘sub-comp’ that has all the layers within it. Then select your pre-comp and Ctrl or Apple + D.
If your walk animation is the whole comp, find it in the project window, select it and use the same keystroke. You can then drag this copy to wherever you need it.
