Yeah – I know -we have multiple Final Cut/AE systems all connected to an Xraid system via fibre and AE worked flawlessly until CS5. Fortunately we have enough drive space to be able to duplicate files. However It’s going to get messy when it comes to archiving – unless were very careful in renaming and documenting.

Figured it out – but it wasn’t obvious.

I had a AE comp and files that were working on drive A. I needed to update and revise the project file but didn’t want to loose the previous version. So I collected the file to another folder on Drive B. AE completed the collection. I ejected Drive A, then double-clicked the collected AE project file on drive B and it messaged 168 files missing. So I relinked one of the files that were missing, but none of the other files re-linked. It seems like previous versions before CS5 just did this with no problems.

I re-set prefs and tried again – same problem.

So – I moved all the footage files out of the collected footage folder up one level into where the AE project file was located, re-opened the file, re-linked one missing file and viola – all the files re-linked.
It appears that the footage needs to be in the same folder as the project file, but the default file structure for a collected file is not arranged that way, so has something changed or is this a bug?
Like I said it seems that previous versions of AE were not that picky of where the source files were.

CS5 AE 10.0.1.19 on a 2X2.93 GHz Quad Core Mac running 10.6.6

Having the same re-linking problems. AE Cs5 v 10.0.1.19.
Previously I would find re-link i layer of a photoshop file and then AE would find the rest. Now i have to re-link every file of 185 files.

I’d be willing to pay for it, and I think there are many FCP editors who would also. If you account for your time spent switching in and out of Boris, Iit would pay for itself in one job.
I know you would like to point people to Motion as a resource, and I do enjoy using the IR plug-ins within it -keep up the great work.
But a straightforward title plug-in with kerning tools would be a killer.
