The script makes it easy to precompose 3D-aware layers by automatically copying all cameras and lights with linked expressions from an existing comp into a new one.

Here you can download the zip file, which is 2.7 KB in size.

All further information about the new Pre-Compose script can be found here.

In the upcoming DP issue 06/14, which appears on August 29, the focus will be entirely on software extensions in the form of scripts, plug-ins and add-ons. We also have an interview with Andrew Kramer!
