  • transferring effects, settings, and layouts from project to project

    Posted by Matt Chapman on August 12, 2015 at 10:12 pm

    Hi all-

    I’m working on a long after effects project that has to be broken into smaller 20 second chunks for simplicities sake.

    However, there are a lot of masks, effects, and things like that which I need to transfer from one project to another. How can I save

    -Adjustment layers (which contain scripts I am using)
    -Effects
    -Masks and transform settings

    from one project to another?

    Thanks
    Chapman

    Yeah that’s exactly how I do and I give to new sequence project a name with a digit always beginning by 0 so that explorer present me in the right increasing order
    01 02 03 ….098 .In the name of the project to be saved I include the date written
    like this 20150812 (yymmdd) again it enables a easy check in explorer.

    Dave as a precaution before beginning the deletes first save the new project as a new one as it will automatically transfer you to the new one keeping the father project untouched. It so easy by mistake to forget to use save as instead of save in the process of the transfer.

    Gosh, I’ve just reviewed my message, I was really in a terrible mood when I wrote to make so many spelling and wording mistakes ! Shame on me. Hope anyway the ideas were understandable!
