If I understand your situation correctly, here’s how I’d go about it.

Start with your main composition nested into a container composition, so that your main composition is one precomposition layer.

Mark the layer with layer markers.

Then use this script to split the layer into separate layers at the markers:

and then use this script to render and export each layer:

There are quite a few ways to move data between After Effects and Premiere Pro. Which way you should use depends on what you’re doing. If you’re importing 46 sequences, you might want to try importing a whole Premiere Pro project.

Here’s a list of supported OpenGL cards.

This isn’t an issue of “position”. It’s an issue of compositing order (or render order, to use other words).

If the explanation in the page that I linked to in my previous answer doesn’t explain this adequately, let me know.

Ryan, why would you do this?

After Effects keeps a cache of rendered frames. That’s the green bar that you refer to.

When you make a change, After Effects recalculates (re-renders) the frames of the composition to accommodate that change.

If there’s part of your composition that you’re done working on, then maybe you should consider pre-rendering it, so that After Effects doesn’t need to keep re-rendering it every time you make a change somewhere else.

from “Pre-render a nested composition”:

“If you have a nested composition that you do not expect to work on further, you can save time during each rendering operation by pre-rendering the nested composition into a movie and replacing the composition with the rendered movie. You can still modify the original nested composition, because it remains in the Project panel. If you make a significant change to the original nested composition, just render it again.”

You can move a layer with its keyframes and then move the keyframes back (without moving the layer) to where they were.

This is described in “Move a layer bar duration bar but not its keyframes”.

You can preview audio in several ways. The thing to keep in mind is that pressing the spacebar is not one of these ways.

See the “Preview video and audio” section of After Effects Help for instructions for using RAM preview, playing only audio, and scrubbing audio.

For audio in output files, make sure that the Audio Output option is checked in your output module settings.
