  • Relink missing footage feature doesn’t auto find everything in the folder

    Posted by Jessica Lawheed on February 9, 2017 at 10:46 pm

    Hello all,

    I’m on a mac V10.10.5 on the latest version of AE: V14.1.0.57. I’ve pulled a coworkers project from their computer onto mine and opened it up to take a look at the project. The relinking feature is not auto relinking… and there are 471 files. All of the files are the same original name and in the same folder structure. It will auto link a few, but not all in the folder and I’ve had to go in and manually relink each one. Any idea why this is happening?

    Thanks

    what kind of files are these? I happen to ran across a problem with Jpegs. does this happen in previous versions as well? can you try to recreate this problem to see when exactly does it break and share the steps?

    Yes most of the files that don’t re-link are jpegs. Some are Pngs. I’ve never encountered the problem in previous versions, but I also can’t say how often I had to relink Jpegs.

    I will try to scrub it and re-open to see exactly which jpegs it takes and which it doesn’t; if I can discern the difference between the jpegs- they’re all pretty similar.
