About the video

It would be helpful for you to learn about pre-composing in After Effects. Pre-composing basically allows you to take multiple layers in a composition and place them into a single composition to allow you to control that one composition separately.
Pre-composing in After Effects can make your workflow much easier and improve your organisation. For those of you that are familiar with Photoshop it may help to think pf pre-composing like grouping or using smart objects. In After Effects this allows you to work much more effectively.
After this video you will learn how to precompose and manage your layers more effectively.
