pre-compose Expressions-Links (“thisComp” vs. comp(“compName”))

[Matthias Stoll]

Hello everybody,

I sometimes want to precompose expressions. Is there a quick solution which changes all ‘thisComp’ references into ‘comp(“compName”)’? A script maybe that works like ‘find and replace text’ but throughout all expressions in one composition?

Thanks!

Matthias

before:
temp = thisComp.layer("CONTROL").effect("radius")(1);

after:
temp = comp("Wheel").layer("CONTROL").effect("radius")(1);
