Full Guide
The name can either be set explicitly with the New option or dynamically based on the current name of the comp(s) you're duplicating.
New
When this option is set, the duplicate comp's name will match the input text exactly.
Variant
When this option is set, there are three options for building the duplicate comp's name from the original comp's name.
Replace Text
Use the two input boxes to find and replace text from the original comp's name, to create the new comp's name.
Add Before
Add text before the original comp's name, to create the new comp's name.
Add After
Add text after the original comp's name, to create the new comp's name.
The location can either be defined from the project root or relative to the original comp's location.
Standard url path notation is used to define the folder hierarchy to the folder.
New
When this option is set, define the new comp's location from the root of the project panel hierarchy.
e.g. /folder-name/inner-folder/new-folder/
Variant
When this option is set, define the new comp's location relative to the original comp's location.
e.g. ../../new-folder/inner-folder/
Note
".." is standard notation for ascending to the parent folder. Use this to tell the path to go 'up' one level.
Leading & trailing "/" are optional.
The path you type doesn't need to already exist. Any new folders will automatically be created for you.
The duplicated comp's frame rate will be set to the specified amount.
Note
If you are modifying both the frame rate and duration of the new comp, the frame rate is adjusted first. So, the new comp's duration should be counted in terms of the new frame rate.
e.g. If you want to add 10 frames onto a comp that is currently 6s & 19frames and also change it from 25fps to 30fps. The new comp will be 6s & 29 frames as opposed to 7s & 4 frames if it were still in 25fps.
The duration can either be defined explicitely or relative to the original comp.
Duration should be written in hh:mm:ss:ff format.
New
When this option is set, define the exact duration of the new comp.
Variant
When this option is set, define the new comp's duration as an addition or subtraction of the original comp's duration.
Use + or - switch to add or subtract time.
Perfect for making a version with / without an endcard.
The dimensions can either be defined explicitely or relative to the original comp.
New
When this option is set, define the exact width and height of the new comp.
Variant
When this option is set, define the new comp's width and height as an addition or subtraction of the original.
Use + or - switch to add or subtract pixel amounts.
The location can either be defined from the project root or relative to the original comp's location.
Standard url path notation is used to define the folder hierarchy to the folder.
New
When this option is set, define the new comp's location from the root of the project panel hierarchy.
e.g. /folder-name/inner-folder/new-folder/
Variant
When this option is set, define the new comp's location relative to the original comp's location.
e.g. ../../new-folder/inner-folder/
