Peter,
I tried that. First off, I’m not sure how to save a composition. I can save a project. And when I do Composition>Insert Composition, I find the 2 sec project I saved and it inserts it into my longer project and stretches it out to the length of my longer project – ruining the timing of the animation, and providing me no way to use this as a looping precomp.
I know I must not be understanding something. Is there a tutorial that would help explain this?
