Time correspondence between a layer in precomp and a comp master
Hello everyone,
It’s not easy to explain clearly what I want to do, but I’ll do my best.
I have a MASTER composition in which there is a pre-composition called “branding”.
In this “branding” pre-composition, there is a pre-composition called “rush”. I’d like the IN and OUT of this precomp to correspond to the IN and OUT points of the “branding” precomp in the MASTER composition.
In fact, I’m trying to apply a time-rempapping that would make it possible to say: if in the MASTER composition the IN point of the “branding” precomp is 1 min, then the IN point of the “rush” precomp will also be 1 min (and the same for the OUT point).
I could then move the “branding” precomp in time in the MASTER composition and the “rush” precomp inside would follow.
Sorry for the lack of clarity.I can explain with a drawing if necessary.
Thank you very much for your help!

Never really worked with this on After Effects myself about have you checked this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jQDqm0RL1s
This can give you an idea on how Pre-Comps and Compositions works. Hope it can somewhat help with the issue you could be having with them. 🙂

Thanks Hector for your reply.
I think my explanations were really bad because I haven’t absolutely no problem dealing with pre-compositions. I have a senior level with After Effects so it’s not the problem.
I’m looking for an expression to manage time as I have to temple a project for clients that can be quickly and easily modified..
I’ve already seen expressions used with precomp and time-remapping but not exactly in this way, so this is what I’m looking for.

I think it might just be a time remapping expression like this for the rush layer:
L = comp("MASTER").layer(thisComp.name);
linear(time,L.inPoint,L.outPoint,0,L.outPoint-L.inPoint); -
Thank you very much, Dan. Always the best 🙂
It works! I only kept part of the expression otherwise the time was stuck on 0.
L = comp("MASTER").layer(thisComp.name);
linear(time,L.inPoint,L.outPoint)Many thanks to you!

Thank you for solving this, Dan!
