relinking compositions with other compositions (comps within a comp)
I’m putting together this workflow for a production and I’m wondering how I can dynamically relink compositions in After Effects.
This is the workflow:
1. Create an after effects file (and a comp) of a character rig
2. insert that rig into a new After Effects file (a new comp) for the environment.However if I make changes to 1, such as adding new nulls or more bone structure to the rig, it will not be seen in step 2’s imported comp. Is there ANY way I can change this issue? so that when there are changes to one comp, it affects the other? or any way to re-link it?
I notice there’s relinking for FOOTAGE such as PSD files but nothing for comps.
Any help on this would be great, it would make our workflow move much easier.

aescripts has a script that looks like it will do what you need for $99.00.

Is there anything in After Effects that can do it without the need for an external script?
Or is there any way I can change my workflow to fit After Effects ability to handle files?
We just need to have it in such a way that we can keep our rigs separate from our scenes.
