Free script for replacing multiple footage files
Hello!
I made a simple script for easily changing multiple footage paths. I’m a 3D artist and found it a burden to replace all the vray render passes every time I rendered a new version. I’m sure it has other uses as well, like checking and setting which of your footage files are local and which ones are on a fileserver.
You can also copy and move footage from one file to another with this tool.
I’m not a professional scripter and would like some comments and crits. What would be the best place to publish something like this? For 3ds max there’s scriptspot.com, is there something similiar for adobe scripts?

Awesome. Looking forward to giving it a go.
-
Does it only work with image sequences?
-
It should work with all footage items. Sequences, stills, audio, etc.
-
Thank you for the suggestions!
I guess I did some very lazy googling on the subject. I’ll check those out.
-
I’ll have to give it a go again. I couldn’t get it to work with video files.
-
Good point, I didn’t test this with video clips at all. I should have time to look at that tomorrow.
-
I just gave it a go and it worked fine with .mp4 and .wmv files.
How did you test this?
If you used the ‘Paste path’ button, the footage must already exist in the new location. Otherwise you have to use the ‘Move footage’ or ‘Copy footage’ buttons. With those buttons the folder must already exist.
EDIT:
Took some time to bump into the problem myself, I fixed it and the new version (v07) can be found at the same place. Thank you for your feedback! -
Great. I’m looking forward to giving it a try. I’ll give it a go later today and let you know what I discover. Thanks.

Just tested the new version. Everything is working as expected. Thanks for the great tool. Should come in handy.
Any chance of the ability to replace image sequences with video files? Sometimes I convert my images sequences to video files in Adobe Media Encoder in order to consolidate a project. It can be time consuming to relink the images sequences to video files. I’m not sure if it’s possible… Thanks again.
