  • Photo and After Effects Composition Duplicates

    So, I wonder if anyone has seen this before.
    I use CS5, and in one of my Premiere projects, whenever I import pictures into the project and put them onto the timeline, the individual pictures will be replaced with one (seemingly randomly chosen) picture – so all of the pictures on the timeline will be replaced by a single picture. If I go to the project panel, all the differently named pictures will show only that single picture when brought up in the source monitor. So, I can only effectively have one picture in my project.
    Also, a similar thing happens with After Effects compositions. This is more frustrating because I’ll replace a video clip in my timeline with an After Effects composition, then I’ll do another separate video clip saved under a different AE composition name but both compositions will end up showing the same video… Does this make sense? How is this possible?
    I’ve tried creating a new Premiere project and importing the old project into the new one. I also checked for updates.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    After you fixed the stills the AE problem might be solved also.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I’ll try that for the pictures, but I don’t know how that’ll affect my After Effects compositions. I tried recreating the compositions and that did no good. I also named them different things to no avail.
    I’ll give that “Save As” option a try in After Effects…

    Replacing the pictures in Photoshop seems to have worked. I deleted all my After Effects Compositions and re-created them, and that solved that problem. I’m still not sure what caused the problem to begin with… but at least it’s all working now.
    Thanks!

    I’am guessing it was the stills, glad you got it working.
