Thanks John, from that I was able to do what I wanted. Here is what I ended up with for anyone else who needs it:

var frameRate = 30;
var maxDuration = 10;
var maxWidth = 760;
var maxHeight = 500;
var pixelAspect = 1;
theComp = app.project.items.addComp(“out_test”, maxWidth, maxHeight, pixelAspect, maxDuration, frameRate);

var comp_folder = findFolder (findFolder(app.project, “scenes”), “my_folder”)

comp0 = findItem(comp_folder,”comp0″)
comp1 = findItem(comp_folder,”comp1″)

theComp.layers.add(comp0)
theComp.layers.add(comp1)

var duration = 0;
for (var i = 1; i

Excellent, thanks so much for the response. Conceptually, I understand it, but can you provide any examples of the javascript code? (doesn’t have to be working code).

Or is there some sort of tool in AE that you use? (as opposed to doing it by hand) Thanks!

Ok, cool, I will look into the virtual machine solution. Thanks!
