To answer your question, in this instance the imported = comp that you modified would be replaced by the comp in the external projec= t. This is really the only "gotcha" to the plug-in, it will invol= ve a change in your pre-production planning.

Thanks again for your support and feedback,=A0

This is HUGE Chris!
We were definitely dreaming of this functionality on the pr= oject we just wrapped involving stereo HUDs for a little dude in an iron su= it and a huge array of glass screens for a bad ass dude with an eyepatch.

I think I saw your video at the start of that project l= ast year and was drooling.=A0Would have been a MEGA timesaver keeping +43,0= 00 elements up to date across a few hundred shots. So I totally look forwar= d to abusing it in the future!

One question - the question that always arises with ins= tance type things - if we change the animation in the imported comp - then = change something in the source comp aep - what happens. Do the links break = - or do they overwrite the new animation - is there a warning - etc. ?=A0

For every new issue this may bring up - this will be an= extremely welcome time saver!=A0

Thanks for makin= g it!
