True Comp Duplicator works great and will do exactly what you need. You
can append the comp name and the name of any nested pre-comps before
duping, and you can specify a new folder for all the parts to land in.
This is a very 'safe' way to do the new versions as nothing is connected
between the comps (other than source footage), the downside would be if
you need to adjust the look or style of your lower thirds, you'd be
opening up and revising every one of them.
If your project isn't too complicated, you could instead do something
like...
* Duplicate main composition and rename it
* In the project window duplicate and rename only the pre-comps that
need to be directly updated.
* Open those new pre-comps and change the content as needed.
* Open the new main comp, highlight each pre-comp that's being updated -
you may have to dig down a ways - and option-drag (alt-drag? control?
damn you muscle memory... it's one of those modifier keys) the revised
comp onto the old one. This will replace the source comp while keeping
all parameters, effects, etc. intact.
That could you $15 or so... but depending on the complexity of your
project it could be a lot of digging, duplicating and replacing. More
chances to screw up!
