  • Replacing images in an edit

    Posted by Villing Chong on December 14, 2008 at 12:30 am

    I have edited a video where still images glide across the screen right to left. They start off screen and end off screen. It took me about an hour to work this out. Now I’m wondering if there is a way to save all the decisions and settings but to replace the actually photographs with different ones. I would like to make a few of these videos.

    Can anyone help?

    Select the layer you want to replace in the timeline panel. Then click and drag the item with which you want to replace the layer from the project panel, with the ALT key pressed, and drop it on top of the layer in the timeline panel.

    You can also select multiple layers in the timeline panel to replace them all with the same item from the project panel.

    Keep in mind, if the images are different sizes, you will get unexpected results as the anchor points will be in different positions. If your images are the same size, they will swap perfectly.
