Two comp windows, one timeline
Grrrr, still baffled by the UI options:
How does one arrange to see 2 Comp windows, with ONE timeline? It’s easy to get a Comp and a Layer window, but two comps seems to require some serious shuffling.

See this page. It contains lots of tips for working with viewers, such as this:
“To lock the current viewer, split the current frame, and create a new viewer of the same type in the new frame, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+N (Mac OS).”———————————————————————————————————

It’s in the documentation. It’s amazing what useful things you can find in there.

> Indeed. However, AE’s Online Help oftentimes assumes that you know what you’re looking for BEFORE you look for it; that’s not always the case for many people. Myself, for example.
Am I the only person left in the world who reads through the documentation when I get a new piece of software? [*sigh*]

Of course, you can probably tell that I’ve mostly given up on the thought that I can convince people to RTFM, since I’m no longer writing TFM but am instead creating DVDs and answering questions on forums.

It is in the menu on CC 2014. It’s the first choice in the “View” tab. It’s called “New Viewer”. Hope this helps!
I know this thread is old but maybe it will be useful to someone.

“Am I the only person left in the world who reads through the documentation when I get a new piece of software?”
Quite possibly. I used to read them cover to cover back in the days when printed manuals were included with the software and things were generally more tangible. I find it impossible to read a manual in full on the screen. I find that manuals are not even made with the idea of being read cover to cover these days, so why do so? These days I use them as a per-case reference material. “Classroom in a Book” is an option when you get started with a new program, but it doesn’t cover all the details.
