How to copy animation to another project in After Effects
So you have this epic animation that you want to copy over to another After Effects project but you don’t know how to do it.
Look no further because I will show you how to easily do that, step by step.
First of all, go to the “Project” window, and select the composition you want to copy.
Then, go up to the menu, click “File”, go down to “Dependencies” and click “Collect files”.
Now choose “For selected comps” at the top to choose your specific composition, and then click “Collect”.
Then, choose a destination and click “Save” and that will create a folder with your composition in it.
Now, open the After Effects project that you want to import it to, click Cmd + I (or Ctrl + I on PC), go into the folder you just created and select your composition (that is saved as an After Effects project file) and then click Open.
A new folder will now be created in your “Project” window and in that folder, you will find your imported composition.
But did you know that you can also import layers from Adobe Illustrator into your project?
If you want to invest two minutes into learning that, you can just click this link.
