The result is that

KEY 1

will animate in and out according to the state stored in each

Comp

.

Actually,

Comps

can apply transitions to multiple layers at one time with a single click. Animation between

the current layer states and settings is not limited to the effects provided by transition

s, however. Let’s

consider a different example.

Select

Comp 2

, ensuring that KEY 1 is visible.

Use the

Positioner

controls for

KEY 1

to slide the lower third title off the page, completely hiding

it from view.

Store a new

Comp

.

Switch back and forth between these two

Comps

and you’ll notice that animating the layer’s position

of the layer has effectively allowed you to create a custom transition. Experiment with other settings,

such a Z or Y axis rotation and you’ll begin to see just how much power

Comps

give you.

Using these and other settings to animate the various video layers, very complex compositions can be
introduced into your production with a single click in the

Comp Bin

.
