Un-PreCompose for After Effects

A new plugin for After Effects that allows you to UN-compose a Pre-Comp element. Typically the way software works is that you can “un” anything that that there is an action for (as an example do/undo, group/ungroup, apply/reset, etc…) EXCEPT pre-compose in After Effects for some reason. BatchFrame has taken care of this with a plugin that allows you to extract all the layers a selected pre-comp into the parent compositional the while maintaining the layers effects and properties… so cool. Check out BatchFrame’s Un-Precompose plugin for After Effects at AEscripts.

Un-PreCompose is a plug-in for After Effects that allows you to select a pre-comp (nested composition) and extract all of its layers into the parent composition while maintaining each layers effects and other properties. You are given various options for maintaining or deleting properties from the pre-comp and the pre- comp itself.
