This is not possible to do in one step, it is only possible to duplicate compositions:
- Select the composition (Import Footage Panel)
- Press Ctrl+D (or go to Composition > Duplicate Composition)
- As (almost) everywhere in AE, hit Enter on the selected composition to rename the duplicate
When you need to copy the properties of a layer:
- Select the Layer
- Click on the tiny Triangle > left beside the layers name to open up the properties
- Select Transform, Effects or Mask
- Press Ctrl+C
- Switch to the Second Composition
- Select the Layer
- Set the playhead to the animation start frame (first keyframe)
- Press Ctrl+V to overwrite all properties and insert all copied keyframes
To check the result, press U on the Layer, this will open up all animated properties of the layer.
Note: Copying the same properties of different layers is also possible by selecting multiple layers, open up the properties simultaneously, and select them by holding down Ctrl or Shift.
