  • Replacing Source Footage

    Posted by Iwgalloway on January 31, 2006 at 10:28 pm

    So, I’m pretty experienced with after effects but there are a few things I’m sure it must be able to do. One of the simplest being…

    I know I can change which file a piece of footage refers to by right-clicking and selecting Replace Footage, but can I change which piece of footage a layer in my comp refers to?

    Cos that would be really handy.

    Thanks

    this eluded me for a while until someone told me how simple it was. Select the footage in your comp, select the footage to replace it in the project window. Hold the alt key down and drag the replacement footage over the old one on the comp window. That should do it.
