    Hi everyone.

    I’m on a time crunch (who isn’t, right?) and was hoping someone could share with me how to use a previous AE file as a template. I created a 3D fly through of photos and would like to replace the photos of the original project with photos of the new one, keeping the 3D fly through the same. What is the easiest way to do this?

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Here are the “old school” ways:

    Method 1:
    – open the existing project
    – replace each photo in the Project window using ctrl+H
    (new photos must be same approximate size as old ones for ease of use)

    Method 2:
    – make sure all the sources in the original project were named Photo1, Photo2, and so on. Or whatever. Make sure they’re in a folder. Close the project. Rename the folder
    – Make sure all the new photos have the exact same names as the old ones, and are in a folder that has the same name and location as the old one.
    (new photos must be same approximate size as old ones for ease of use)
    – Open the project. It will now use the new photos, since they have the same name and folder as the old ones.

    Those methods require some preparation. 🙂

    Now, unless CS3 has something new to offer in this way, “old school” is “only school”.

    Anybody else?
