Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Automatically Reload PSD

  • Automatically Reload PSD

    Posted by Dustin Parsons on June 8, 2012 at 1:03 am

    Is there a way to have After Effects automatically reload a PSD everytime I make changes to it in Photoshop? I’m hopping between the 2 programs a lot and that’s just one step I’d rather not have to do.

    Thanks

    As far as I’m aware, I think right-clicking the file in the Project Panel and choosing “Reload footage” is the only way.

    Concurred.

    This would make a great feature request [link], though — you should think about filing it. We’ve got Dynamic Link between Ae, Pr, En, and AME. Why not add Ps and Il?

    Good idea – I’m constantly clicking that reload button to update PS an Illustrator files.. I’m on it.

    can the reload be scripted or quick-keys?
