Projects and compositions
Last updated 11/30/2015
After Effects provides several ways to open a nested composition (precomposition):
Double-click the composition entry in the Project panel.
Double-click a precomposition layer in the Timeline panel. Alt-double-click (Windows) or Option-double-click
(Mac OS) to open the precomposition layer as a layer in the Layer panel.
Note: Double-clicking a precomposition layer when a paint tool or the Roto Brush tool is active opens the layer in the Layer
panel.
To open the most recently active composition in the same composition network as the currently active composition,
press Shift+Esc.
Use the Composition Navigator.
Use the Composition Mini-Flowchart.
The Composition Navigator
The Composition Navigator is a bar along the top edge of the Composition panel that shows the composition active in
that viewer in relation to other compositions in the same composition network. The compositions shown are the most
recently active compositions in the flow path of the currently active composition.
A Active (current) composition B Arrow for opening Composition Mini-Flowchart C Panel menu button D Ellipsis
Arrows between the composition names indicate the direction in which pixel information flows for this flow path. The
default is to show compositions in the Composition Navigator bar with downstream compositions on the left and
upstream compositions on the right. This default is indicated by the Flow Right To Left option in the Composition
panel menu. To show compositions in the other order, choose Flow Left To Right. This setting is a global preference; it
applies to all compositions and to the Composition Mini-Flowchart view.
The names of downstream compositions are dim to indicate that their contents are not used or shown in the active
composition.
To show or hide the Composition Navigator bar, choose Show Composition Navigator from the Composition panel
menu.
To activate any composition shown in the Composition Navigator bar, click the composition name.
If the flow path is too long to show in the Composition panel, an ellipsis button appears at the left or right edge
of the Composition Navigator bar. To temporarily show the entire flow path, click the ellipsis button.
To scroll through a long flow path, place the pointer over a composition button in the Composition Navigator and roll
the mouse scroll wheel.
The Composition Mini-Flowchart
The Composition Mini-Flowchart is a transient control that you can use to quickly navigate within a composition
network. When you open the Composition Mini-Flowchart, it shows the compositions immediately upstream and
downstream of the selected composition.
Colors in the Composition Mini-Flowchart are based on the label colors assigned to compositions in the Project panel.
If a composition is used multiple times within one composition, the multiple instances of the nested composition
appear as one entry with a number in parentheses indicating the number of instances.
