  • Best Workflow Practice – Not Re-using Images from a Large Library

    Posted by Matt Cheah on December 25, 2012 at 1:04 am

    Hey guys,

    Quick question. I have a client who’s requesting that I make a fairly long minute motion graphic with a few hundred different images. Do you guys have any efficient solutions to make sure that I don’t use an image more than once? Thanks!

    With the Project Panel active, select File>Consolidate All Footage to remove duplicate copies of footage items. If you’re about to archive the AEP, you should follow this routine with File>Reduce Project. Take note that this latter step requires you to select Folders/Comps/Footage that you want to archive. Of course selecting a higher hierarchy object selects all encapsulated objects.
