Friction allows user to link a scene (composition) in another scene. This simplifies the use of pre made animation in a complex scene.

This is similar to pre composition or nested composition in after effect

• Create two different scenes (let's call the final one "parent" and the other "child")
• In the parent scene, right click in the viewport and use the Link Scene button
• The child animation is now in the parent scene, and acts as a classic video layer. You can toggle its Visibility Range to move animation in time
• If the child animation is bigger than the scene canvas, you can use the outside pixels in the parent scene or not by toggling the clip checkbox in the layer properties, acting like a classic video layer or a procedural use of separate animation

Do you know friction ? It is an awesome open source 2d animation software, early stage, which could replace after effect
