multiple copies of same precomp with different footage

[John Cuevas]

In the top panel, select your precomp and press “Cntl+D” this will make a new instance of the precomp, “precomp_2”. Then you can step into the new precomp and change the footage. If you have effects on the precomp in your final comp, select the precomp in the final comp and duplicate it. Now select “precomp_2” in the project panel and press “cntl+alt+/” and it will replace the selected precomp in the timeline.
