replacing video in a comp
Posted by Scott Carroll on May 21, 2006 at 9:09 pmHi all
I have made a composition with several layers and now want to change the media in one of the layers, but retain all the attributes associated with it.(ie scale position etc)
Can this be done?Thanks
Scott

May 21, 2006 at 9:27 pmImport your replacement media.
Select it in the project window.
Select the layer you want to replace in the timeline.
Ctrl + Alt + /
This will swap the layer in the timeline for what you have selected in the project window without affecting any layer attributes.

It’s the / key right next to the fullstop at the bottom of the keyboard.
