I hate this…. The fastest way I have found is to just open each comp, maximize the timeline (with tilde) and hit ‘e’. This will show all of the effects found in that timeline, and from there you can see the ones with “Missing” in front of them.
As far as the fonts – I have no idea how to easily find this.
You could check around aescripts.com – I think I found a script once that can help with searching for all of the plug-ins used in a project.

April 5, 2011 at 10:59 pm in reply to: After Effects warning: invalid numeric result (divide by zero?) Expression disabled.I know very little to nothing about coding, but the only time I have gotten this error is when I literally just divide by zero (rocket science, I know). With that in mind I would bet that your error is in here:
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t)
because that is the only place that you divide, except earlier when you divide by 10…
instead of dividing by Math.exp(decay*1) try just sticking a random number in there and see what happens:
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/5

As Dave said, I don’t think there is a way to do this. Instead why don’t you look into alternate ways of selecting layers? For example every layer has a number and if you hit this number on your keypad you can select that layer (of course you have more than 10 layers though…)

That should be about it. From there it depends what you want to do with said firework.
The mask will “crop” the footage to whatever shape you drop. Everything else just gets blanked out. If you are trying to re-size the footage to the size of the firework go to Composition Settings and make your composition smaller. (it is under one of the tabs at the top of the screen).

That must mean you are in CS5. CS5 allows you to share resources between Adobe programs dynamically – it is actually quite handy at times

I have never heard of the problem, but maybe you would be interested in this:

Yo Daniel,
I often do large keying projects at once (10-75 inerviews). From my experience it isn’t really a “one key fits all”, unless everything is shot on one camera with the exact same lighting. Even then, though, what people are wearing and their skin color can drastically change your results. For example, a white blond girl is a much different key than a black girl with black braids.
That said, here is my workflow. I start by degraining my footage, this is done in a totally separate project. Then I import all of these rendered files into a new project and make a comp for each footage item (each key). In this comp I key everything, precompose it all and then use this comp to actually composite my key with my background (depending if I am doing this, or our editor does it in Avid and I just render out the ‘Key’ comp). So I basically end up with 2 compositions for each person – one for keying and one for compositing.
To more directly answer your question:
Once you work out your ‘template’ composition you just duplicate it (ctrl + D) and swap out the greenscreen footage (select it in the timeline and alt + drag the footage from your project window).
