Repointing an instance on a timeline
Lets say I make a few files A,B,and C and import them. Then I drag A and B to the timeline and do crazy stuff with them. After 5 hours of playing with it, I decide C should really be on the timeline instead of B. Is there a way to point the instance of B to use C instead? Or do you HAVE to drag C down and copy every single thing you changed from B and paste it on to C?

You might try parenting, but that won’t solve all your problems (especially if you did anything with opacity or effects).

If I need to do that, I just select the things I want to copy (transform, effects) for the media and copy (cmd-C). Then insert the new clip, select it and paste (cmd-V).

Isn’t it as simple as selecting the item to be replaced, and option-dragging the new footage on top of the to-be-replaced footage?

would that be control drag in Windows? or Alt…

this also works in the project window as well.
say in you example you had a hundred copies of B in 1 or even multiple comps.
option drag C over B in the project window and it will swap C wherever B was used.
