When creating complex animations I often use pre-composition to stack them and further animate them separately.

I am now facing two fully animated pre-comps and I need to place pre-comp_1 inside pre-comp_2. Why? Cause pre-comp_2 is a phone that also has environment reflections on it and pre-comp_1 is the content that is shown on the screen, therefore I need to rearrange the layer order so the reflections are on top of pre-comp_1.

Is there a good way of doing this? Other than removing the reflections and stacking it on top of both pre-compositions?

This is what I would like to achieve but obviously it's not working like that. I can't find a way to add pre-comp_1 under Reflection inside pre-comp_2 without loosing the animation I already have on the pre-comp

You can't drag and drop between compositions but you can copy and paste an entire layer, and it will copy any animated keyframes along with it.

Take the following example. I have a main composition with two pre-comps. "Pre-comp 2" has animated position keyframes.

Select the "Pre-comp 2" layer (only the layer, no keryframes or anything) and copy.

Open "Pre-comp 1" and paste. See the position keyframes are copied with it.

Just remember to delete the original "Pre-comp 2" from the main composition.
