How to duplicate a composition of legacy and make it independent of the original

Hi, im trying to duplicate a composition of legacy and make it independent of the original, but it seems to be impossible... im working on CS5.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

As Andrew says, select a composition in the project, not in the timeline panel, and then press Ctrl/Cmnd + D. You will get a new comp with a number or a copy appended to the name. This model is completely independent of the original, but it contains all the same images.

If the model you duplicated contains other compositions nested in the timeline, then these nested compositions must also be duplicated and their duplicates used to replace the original compositions nested in the double model. The script is called, it's easy. Most of the projects created by new users have not a lot of nested compositions is not usually a big deal to do this step by hand.

If you post a screenshot of the timeline for the model that you have duplicated or better yet the chart we can highlight exactly what needs to be duplicated in the project Panel to give you an independent composition double. Duplication of a composition that is nested in a chronology does not give you a single copy.

One last thing. Any time you select layers in your timeline and dial before them, you create a new composition now nested in your original. It is a good practice to organize all prior comps in the project Panel in a folder with a name that lets you know where to go these comps before. This will make the job of duplicating main compositions much easier.

  • installed the game CD Gears of War on my computer (Windows VISTA) and make me "Please insert the correct DVD - ROM, click OK and restart the application" - but the disk is IN the drive.

    original title: Gears of War for PC (Vista)

    I installed Gears of War game CD on my computer (Windows VISTA) and make me "Please insert the correct DVD - ROM, click OK and restart the application" - but the disk is IN the drive.  I've been on the net and does not know what is the problem and why this game will not run.  I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled tried to run as administrator, got the latest patch, all the things that have said all sites to do - anyone have any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Hi NoOneSpeciale,

    It is very possible that your CD may be damaged.  Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
    Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.

  • I can disconnect from one of my two computers, for an hour or a day and log on to a computer "third party" to use photoshop and then log in to the original computer when I'm done?

    Given that I cannot use the product on two computers, I can disconnect from one of these two computers, for an hour or a day and log on to a computer, "third party" to use photoshop and then log in to the original computer when I'm done? I do a work one or two times a week to another place and I use the computer which is there. I already have Photoshop on my home and work computers, but I would like to sign out of one of these just for the day I'm away from my office and home and then sign in again when I'm done. I do that often.

    Yes, you can do it.

    As long as creative cloud is active only two computers, it will work.

  • I've renamed the images in a file and now they are all out of control, how to make their return to the original order

    I opened a drive with my camera phone, then renamed the photos with brief descriptions, and now they are all out of order. How to make back in the original order they appeared.

    Dennis

    Renamed files are apparently to be sorted by alphabetical order.
    It is the normal behavior of Windows.

    If you open the folder in question and go to... View / details... and
    Select the column that says: "Date picture taken", she should use
    photos.

    Also you can drag and drop photos to change position.

    Once you have pictures in the order you need... you can re-
    Number them in a batch to maintain order.

    Just go to... Edition / select all... right click on the first file name and choose...
    Rename... Enter the next number...

    .jpg (10001)

    Press Enter and the remaining files will be named in the order.

    You can also add a word if you want to identify the group.

  • How to run a script as administrator and copy some setting of the connected user's profile?

    I want to copy some profile setting to the connected on folder (% userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word) user profile password when they connect. Because the standard user accounts do not have the right admin to copy files to the folder, so I use schedule a task to run the .cmd as local administrator every time that a user login. But, when I use the % username % setting to try copying the file to the logged on user profile, the setting of % username % is interpreted as the name of the local administrator because the scheduled task is run as administrator. Therefore, the file is exemplary in the local Administrator profile. All solutions? Thank you

    I log on as a user account standard and do a right-click the .cmd and run as admin. The script interpreter .cmd parameter of % username % as the admin because I ran as administrator.

    -> Not altogether. There are two cases:

    • You are connected under an administrator account. When you right click on cmd.exe, then you get a 'high' console session that is still running under the name of your current account.
    • You are connected under a regular account. When you right click on cmd.exe and then you get a prompt and admin account name and its password. The new session is running under admin account.

    Is there a way to set the parameter to % username % as long as the logged on user, when you run the .cmd as an administrator.

    -> No - see above. Execution of a session high under a regular user account would defy the principle of administrator accounts.

    Either of these two options, I gave you in my previous answer might work, with a bit of scripting. A much simpler method would be to restore the default permissions to the %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word folder. Normally full, users have access to it. This is my preferred option. With the help of a scheduled task that is running under an administrator account is a kludge.

  • How can I move copies of data from an incremental backup, not the original file?

    As part of an incremental backup I get copies of the storage spaces. These default are stored in the disk location of backup diskgroup. Is it possible to move those copies to different diskgroup/location while always save to the default disk backup location diskgroup. I know how to do it with the main data files, but not with copies.
    for example
    Current situation:
    The DATA of the original data files in +.
    Backups in + FRA
    Copies of Datafile recovered in + FRA

    New configuration to be:
    The DATA of the original data files in +.
    Backups in + FRA
    Copies recovered in Datafile + BACKUP

    Thank you

    Yes it is possible.

    Move the backup, and then set the new location of the backup on the controlfile:

    1 put the backup.

    2 RMAN delete old reference backup in the control file:

     crosscheck backup device type disk;
    
     delete noprompt expired backup device type disk;
    

    3 RMAN includes the new location of the backup:

     catalog start with '/path/to/your/backup/'
    

    And you're done :)
