Body: <p>I have an after effects comp that is "stop motion", i.e. all animations move at about 8 frames per second.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use this comp as a 3D layer and animate camera moves over it smoothly at 30 fps, while the animation continues to play at 8 fps.</p>
  
  <p>But every time I drop the 8 fps comp into the 30 fps comp it seems to be rendering at 30 fps, losing my stop motion effect completely.</p>
  
  <p>I have a video example here: <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                  <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aDTFrZeHQsM?start=0"></iframe>
              </div></div></p>
  
  <p>Will I have to render out a .mov and reimport to get the desired effect?</p>
