  swap layer content with another

  Posted by Mo on April 12, 2007 at 3:35 pm

  Trying to do this project in AE and ran into another, “wonder if there is a shortcut or tool” question.

  Is there a way to swap the contents of a layer with another in the project menu? For example, in Layer 1, I have image01 with a bunch of keyframes etc… Is there a way to just swap image01 with, say image02 in the project window? I just want to switch image assets but keep all the keyframes the same.. I know I can cut and paste but wondering if there is this command hidden somewhere.

  thanks.

  Same way, only use alt instead of opt. Adobe is very good about keeping key commands the same (only sub ctrl for cmd and alt for opt).
