You do your design, animation, and other work in the Device Master composition. You use the device-specific compositions for previews and to
render for final output.
The Device Master composition is nested and centered in each of the device-specific compositions. The frame rate, height, and width settings for
the Device Master composition are each set to the maximum of the values for the device-specific compositions. You can resize or move the
nested Device Master composition within each device-specific composition—for example, to tweak layout for different frame aspect ratios. A guide
layer for each device in the Device Master composition facilitates your design work.
