Precomposing

Precomposing is a process in digital editing where multiple layers, clips, or elements are combined into a single, unified layer before integrating them into a larger project. Think of it as grouping several items so you can move, adjust, or apply effects to them all at once, rather than managing each individually. This simplifies complex projects, helps organize your work, and ensures that specific elements stay consistent as you continue editing. Precomposing is a useful technique for maintaining control and efficiency, especially in detailed or multi-layered creative projects.
