    Right now I have a huge AE project with several older projects and many files that are not being used. I want to consolidate all my footage and elements so I can save a “finished” AE project with only the files/ elements I used in the project. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Also is there a way to quickly switch between camera angles? Like go from active camera to custom view 1?

    Mac Pro
    AE CS4

    Thanks

    under the file menu you have; reduce project, consolidate …
    check the helpfile for what they exactly do.
    then, select your master-comps in AE and do a “collect files – selected comps”
    this will make a copy of your project with the needed files.

    temporarily rename your original project/assets folder so AE can’t link to the original files.
    now check your new project, doublecheck, triplecheck and quadriplecheck,
    after that, you can delete the original folder

    cya,

    EDIT:
    use F10, F11, F12 to switch between cameras,
    under the view-menu, you can change the shortcut/camera
