  • Reusing clips in same layer

    Posted by Gareth Holloway on October 11, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    Hi people. Hope you can help me here.
    I have a project at uni where I have to use about 40 short video clips that contain percussive sounds. I’m then to put them together so it plays like a beat… sorta like playing drums.

    My problem is that I want to have some video clips playing more than once (like playing drums), but I can’t seem to re-use that clip in the same layer. I seem to only be able to do it by creating another layer.
    If I do it this way I’d end up with sooo many layers.

    Basically I just want 1 layer per video clip which plays the video clip whenever and wherever I want.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    As I am a huge AE proponent it pains me t suggest it, but perhaps you’d be best served exporting the locked down video portion and adding the audio in another application…
