after effects Inserting Text Layer

Solid-color layers that are based on solid-color footage items that you create .... a background, as the basis of a control layer for a compound effect, or to create 
Layers in the Layer, Composition, and Timeline panels
After you add a layer to a composition, you can reposition the layer in the Composition panel. In the Timeline panel, you can change a layer's duration, starting time, and place in the layer stacking order. You can also change any of the properties of a layer in the Timeline panel.
You can perform many tasks—such as drawing masks—in either the Composition panel or the Layer panel. However, other tasks—such as tracking motion and using the paint tools—must be performed in the Layer panel.
The Layer panel shows you a layer before any transforms are applied to the layer. For example, the Layer panel does not show the result of modifying the Scale property of a layer. To see a layer in context with other layers and with the results of transforms, use the Composition panel.
Layers that are not based on a source footage item are synthetic layers. Synthetic layers include text layers and shape layers. You cannot open a synthetic layer in the Layer panel. You can, however, precompose a synthetic layer and open the precomposition in the Layer panel.

after effects Pre-Comps and Master Compositions

after effects Pre-Comps and Master Compositions

after effects Pre-Comps and Master Compositions
Combining two Adobe After Effects compositions into a single composition is helpful when you want to re-use a composition multiple times. Additionally, it is useful for applying complex changes to a group of compositions at once. Nesting is the process through which you combine compositions into a single composition, known as a nested composition or a precomposition. The entire set of compositions that are related to each other through nesting are known as the composition network.
Since switching to Premiere Pro, my editing workflow has been to lock picture in Premiere and then finish in After Effects. To date I've been using a workflow similar to the one I'd use when editing in Final Cut Pro, which was to import a final sequence into After Effects (either as an XML or by using Premiere Pro as an intermediary), and apply color correction, titling, and other effects in AE. While this approach gives a very high quality output, a problem rears its head if you want to make changes to the edit after "locking" picture. So what's the best workflow between Premiere and After Effects?
Once I change the coloring and add the final titles and effects, I find my picture lock often becomes unlocked. But now if I make changes to my edit in Premiere, they aren't reflected in AE, and so I find myself making edits in AE, which is far from ideal given the program's lack of real-time editing features (and editing tools like trim, slide, etc). And then if I need to revisit the edit in Premiere, I in fact have a newer edit in AE than I do in PPro. It's a version control nightmare. However, it's hard to beat from a price:quality perspective — this is the reason this workflow is spotlighted in Stu Maschwitz's DV Rebel's Guide. In theory, Adobe has designed Dynamic Link to solve this problem. But does it?
As far as I can tell, not really. Dynamic Link gives you two options, both of which are nice to have, but neither of which accomplishes what I'm looking for. The two options are: one, you can create an After Effects composition within Premiere Pro, and have that comp dynamically update in your Premiere sequence when you make changes in AE. The second option is to use Dynamic Link to open a Premiere project in After Effects, at which point you can import sequences and have them show up in AE — as a single object. There's no way to drill down to the individual clips to make changes unless you import a Premiere sequence, at which point I'm back in the same boat I was in before when using Final Cut (though it's worth noting that Premiere's integration is far more advanced, as most effects and transitions carry over flawlessly). While I'm happy to have the ability to open a Premiere Pro sequence in After Effects, one can't but wonder if the two programs could be combined in order to prevent this non-ideal workflow. As it is, once you go AE, it's hard to go back. At least, this is my understanding — am I missing something? Is all of this just confusing? Please share your experiences in the comments.

after effects basic Comp Size

after effects basic Comp Size

after effects basic Comp Size
Hi there, I'm new to after effects and I'm looking for tips on how I can seamlessly merge compositions together to make it look as one such as the one shown in many of Andrew Kramers product showcases especially the evolution one here
I believe they are multiple compositions (pre-comps) inside one main comp. Sure Target could have been used to move the camera from comp to comp; and it looks like they either just move past the camera or the opacity is lowered to make them invisible to reveal the composition behind.
1. Dynamic linking PP into AE, then copy and pasting my entire timeline. Problem: the graded footage doesn't show back up in the timeline in PP. Instead, it's contained within the dynamically linked file which has NO transitions, the timing is messed up, etc.

2. Dynamic linking AE into PP, after having copy and pasted my footage from PP. I then paste the footage back into PP, but none of the grading appears. And all my transitions are gone. Plus, when I try to render, the entire picture gets squished. 

3. Selecting each clip and "Replace with after effects composition" works like it should...until either/both programs crash and cause all kinds of dynamically linked issues. Plus, I lose transitions doing it this way and when adding back in the transitions, I get an error "not enough frames, will double frames..." and it never looks right.

My ideal workflow would be to simply finish the edit in PP, move the whole project to AE, and edit each clip, all while retaining the transitions from PP. And then render/export out of AE.

Create and name compositions after effects

Create and name compositions after effects

Create and name compositions after effects
Each composition has its own settings for resolution, duration, etc. These are independent of the main project and other compositions. You define these settings when you create a new composition, and you can also change them at any time by selecting Composition > Composition Settings from the main menu (shortcut Crtl/Cmd+K).
For most compositions one of the presets will be suitable but you can customize settings as you like.
Note: See composition duration for a couple of tips on setting the duration.
The Advanced tab includes a few advanced options as pictured below. In most cases you can ignore these.
It is usually best to make the composition settings the same as the footage, e.g. Don't change the frame rate unless you really need to. Fortunately, After Effects provides an easy way to create new compositions from footage using the correct settings. Simply drag the footage from the project panel to the Create New Composition icon as pictured below. Bingo — a new composition with exactly the same settings as the footage.
Note: If you click the Create New Composition icon instead of dragging a file onto it, a new empty composition is created.
The next step of the workflow is to create a composition, in which you will create all animation, layering, and effects. An After Effects composition has both spatial dimensions and a temporal dimension, called a duration, or length in time.
Compositions include one or more layers, arranged in the Composition panel and in the Timeline panel. Any item that you add to a composition—such as a still image, moving-image file, audio file, light layers, camera layers, or even another composition—becomes a new layer. Simple projects may include only one composition, whereas elaborate projects may include several compositions to organize large amounts of footage or intricate effects sequences.
To create a composition, you'll drag the footage items into the Timeline panel, and After Effects will create layers for them. Follow these steps:
In the Project panel, Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select the bgwtext composition as well as the DJ, gc_adobe_dj, kaleidoscope_waveforms, and pulsating_radial_waves footage items.
Drag the selected footage items into the Timeline panel. The New Composition from Selection dialog box appears
After Effects bases the size of the new composition on the selected footage. In this example, all of the footage is sized identically, so you can accept the default settings.
Click OK to create the new composition. The footage items appear as layers in the Timeline panel, and After Effects displays the composition, named bgwtext 2, in the Composition panel.
Click in the Timeline panel to make it active, and then press F2 to deselect all layers.
When you add a footage item to a composition, the footage becomes the source for a new layer. A composition can have any number of layers, and you also can include a composition as a layer in another composition, which is called nesting.
About Layers
Layers are the components you use to build a composition. Any item that you add to a composition—such as a still image, moving-image file, audio file, light layers, camera layers, or even another composition—becomes a new layer. Without layers, a composition consists of only an empty frame.
Using layers, you can work with specific footage items in a composition without affecting any other footage. For example, you can move, rotate, and draw masks for one layer without disturbing any other layers in the composition, or you can use the same footage in more than one layer and use it differently in each instance. In general, the layer order in the Timeline panel corresponds to the stacking order in the Composition panel.
This composition contains five footage items and therefore five layers in the Timeline panel. Depending on the order in which the elements were selected when you imported them, your layer stack may differ from the one shown in this example. The layers need to be in a specific order as you add effects and animations, however, so you'll rearrange them now.
Drag bgwtext to the bottom of the layer stack (if it isn't already there). Drag the other four layers 
NOTE
You may need to click a blank area of the Timeline panel or press F2 to deselect layers before you can select an individual layer.
From this point forward in the workflow, you should be thinking about layers, not footage items. You'll change the column title accordingly.
Click the Source Name column title in the Timeline panel to change it to Layer Name, as shown in Figure 6.
Choose File > Save to save your project so far.
