It’s easy to build an After Effects project that includes many layers of objects being animated in different ways, and it’s easy for all of those layers to become disorganized. In this movie, Ian Robinson fully explains how to use precompositions to nest multiple layers together. With precompositions, you can animate, transform, manipulate, and apply filters to multiple layers all together as if they were one single layer.
