Hi,

this script creates a new comp, nests the currently active comp inside as the new comps only layer and sets in point and com duration so that they match the work area from the active comp.

I created it when I had a long composition and had to render out a lot of small segments independently. Just set your work area to the fragment you want to export and run the script. It will generate a new comp with the name "rendercomp" + compname + unique number in the root folder of the project window with the same settings as the active comp (width, height, ...) but the duration is set to the active comps work area duration and in point to the point were the work area began. You can then, manually, add this comp to the renderqueue.

Feel free to modify it to your needs. If you enhance it, it would be nice if you could post the script here or email it to me.

If you have any questions please ask them here.
