  • Re-linking a lot of Photoshop Layers in AE

    Posted by Brian Murphy on July 7, 2011 at 6:25 pm

    Hey all, I have a PSD that continues to change as the client sends it to me again and again. Thing is, the PSD has about 90 layers in it and to select each one of those and relink them in AE is insane. Anyone know how to do this in one shot?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Assuming the layer order or number of layers hasn’t changed, just select all the layers in the project panel, right-click and choose ‘reload footage’. Failing that, closing and re-opening the project will do it.

    Yes, if the client adds new layers, it’s a bit of a nightmare.

    If when you bring in your Photoshop document, if you choose ‘document size’ for the layers (not ‘layer size’) then if the clients add/remove elements from a layer, or change the size of something on that layer, it shouldn’t screw up your positioning (quite as much!).
