Something you might want to do a video on. One can actually transfer a keyframe pattern on one layer to another layer and the objects on that different layer will track that original keyframe pattern at a different location. A straight up keyframe copy will not do this. Here's how to do it. Make a New smart object as copy of the original keyframed layer. Then drag the new layer or layers (with no keyframes) into that smart object (after expanding it at a 1 to 1 ratio, and optionally turn off the original layer inside the smart object. Now the dragged in layer(s) will track the original keyframe pattern at a different and totally editable location(s. You will have to turn off the dragged in layers (not inside the smart object) because they go inside the smart object as copies. This is extremely useful and something I always wondered why PS didn't have. I found it the hard way. experimentation.

Word of Caution: When one is linking a multi comp PSD file to another application document (ex. Indesign) you have to make sure that the link in InDesign is set to Keep Layer Visibility Overrides, which you find through Object > Layer Options in InDesign. If you don't, then whatever layer you turn on/off in Photoshop and save, InDesign will update that link version to something that you may not want. Then again, you may want it to update to the changes in PS in which case you choose Use Photoshop's Layer Visibility.

Great feature and great video! What misses in my opinion is a short explanation on where this technique is practically useful. Someone please be so kind as for giving a real world example. Many thanks in advance.

What is this magic! I had no idea this feature even existed. This will literally come in handy so much for me. I make mockups and often need to switch between versions. Thank you!

had no idea this was possible, but definitely have a need for this! I wonder if this process makes huge files that would crush my poor old computer. I will try today. Thank you!
