    Hi there, me again, and i’m going to risk asking another question as i can’t seem to find the answer anywhere already.
    When i select a couple of comps from the project space and drag them onto the new comp bar i seem to be getting erroneous results.
    The problem arises in the form of bright yellow, this could be the whole page turning yelow for a frame or if text it almost looks as if the path of the text has become selected for 1 or 2 frames. I thought this may be a preview issue so i rendered a final and the yellow anomalies still persist.
    Does anyone have any ideas what this could be.

    Thanks in advance

    p.s ( i know, i know, by asking such a banal crazy question i run the risk of people saying stuff like “Heck” and counting to 10 in virtual space, but i thought i’d give it a shot.
    Oh! and to all those who do reply with a drip of sarcasm, be warned. I shall be printing out your replies and adding them to a cabbage soup which i shall then feed to the evil old woman at the end of the street. 😉

    there is nothing else in the time line just a comp in the comp? How about when you open the orignal comp, is there yellow?

    Hmm, no there are basically 3 animated layers in each comp (text in this case), im also using particle playground to blow the text to dust. The comps are the same apart from the text. They both work fine on this level, Soon as i precomp and add them both to a new single comp the problems occur.

    strange huh?
