Description

Composition player should not require to rebuild the Composition completely everytime we make any changes.

I am using composition player to preview the video and transformer to export the video.

I am creating composition with multiple overlays

Everytime I change the overlay it requires to rebuild the whole composition

I just want to see the changes in real time.

The whole Idea of composition player is to preview the changes we make, before we export the video created.

Is there any way to do this.
