Ideally it' d be nice if both comp viewers could display at full quality without having a hit in performance.
The reason I compromise with low rez in working comp viewer is whenever I drag out a second comp viewer having both in full rez, there is a substantial delay in refreshing the image.

As for its usefulness, I use it both ways, one comp viewer (work one) zooming in and out, the other, fixed full-screen to see the overall look.
I use the same in PS etc, by expanding the navigator window to a secondary monitor full screen as I'm detailing on main monitor.
FWIW PS displays a sharper image in the navigator than in main window when its not at 100% zoom factor.

Exactly. By linking the resolution of each comp view, AE only has to render the frame once per frame. De-coupling this could make a frame render happen N times per frame. I'm assuming that's why it behaves this way right now.

To be clear, he's talking Resolution (where fewer pixels are calculated, speeding up interactivity for large comps), not Magnification (which is how many pixels are viewed).

Out of�curiosity, what benefit do you get out of two viewers with one at 100% and the other at less than 100%?

Hello all,
is it possible to have two comp viewers of the same comp, one to display at 100% quality, and the other at 50% or quarter?
At the moment any change I make affects both comp viewers.
Thanks
