Hi Bruce, you can select the viewer window and, in View, create a new viewer – thus having two. One will be locked off and the other will change to the current selected comp. Is that what you’re after?

Thanks Greg

This is useful. I think I was not very clear in my post. What I want to be able to do is open the layers of a pre-comp within the timeline of the master comp. I often would like to do this to coordinate timing and transitions to the other components in the master comp.

thanks

Unfortunately this feature doesn’t exist. some users advocate it constantly many years, hoping it will eventually happen. You can ask for it too in Adobe’s wishform page.
