Adding and revealing composition footage items
Once you have created a new composition and imported footage into the project, you can add footage items or another composition to it. To do this, drag footage items or folders from the Project window to a Timeline window, a Composition window, or a composition name or icon in the Project window. You can use individual items in the Project window any number of times in one or more compositions.
Note: Although you cannot directly add a composition to itself, you can duplicate a composition and add the copy to the original.
When you drag a footage item to the Timeline window, you can specify a precise layer order and start time for the item. If you add multiple footage items to a composition, the items appear in the order in which they were selected in the Project window. If you drag a footage item into the Composition window, the layer appears where you drop it. If you drag a footage item onto a composition in the Project window, the layer snaps to the center of the Composition window. After you add a layer, you can move it to any position within the Composition window. When you add multiple footage items, they appear in the composition in the order selected.
