Yes but it works perfect with cloning Precompositions AND with this new file but I have to manually add layer by layer (drag and then ALT + drop) which is sloooow process because my rig has over 40 layers.
Replacing (CTRL + H) old PSD file with new .PSD file (where I changed all graphics and leave layers with the same names and more/less the same size) works perfectly but CTRL + H will not allow me to replace .AI layered file… I will be able to manually replace FOOTAGE and select LAYER SIZE and find its name which will lead me to 1-2-3 hours work more than it is automated as expected. 😉

Thank you very much!
This is what I did (just in case) and then tried your solution: I first COLLECT to output – FILE 1 and set to Desktop. Then I opened renamed (the same project) to FILE 2, go to File 2 dir and replaced old .AI file with new one where I corrected colours (even a bit of changed shape but in size of old layer – to all layers.
1 – This way I got – FILE 2 like I wanted, but with THE SAME NAME as in FILE 1 (if you understand).
2 – THEN I tried your solution: I copy/pasted (made backup) and opened FILE2.aep with right mouse click: EDIT WITH NOTEPAD++
– FILE2.aep opened in Notepad++ (free and also excellent PC program for correcting html / css without changing source!)
– Then I find FILE1.ai (CTRL + F) – Notepad++ found 40 FILE1.ai listings in .AI file.
– Go to tab – REPLACE and entered “Replace FILE1.ai with FILE2.ai” and click SAVE.
When I opened FILE2.aep from Desktop – IT WORKED!!! Thank you for your suggestion – it would never come to my mind to edit source .aep file ☺
p.s. Why Adobe do not implement this? It would save many problems (as it works perfectly with .PSD)?
Thanks again!

Oh I see.
Well I think this complicated effect must have code in itself… Something like converting 2 color video to ascii… What you want is not easily created with default effect. I think particles should help but with heavy code. I believe 3D artist should know more than 2D artists.

Ah finally found how to add my snapshot 🙂

Hm – doubleclick on the mask and move it up… and manually scale the mask until it aligns with the lines?

I’ve found what I did – I’ve accidentally (probably using mouse-wheel) added .AI scene into AE and, like you said, I’ve selected Scene only, not Scene with Retain Layer Sizes! It was my mistake. Thank you!

Hm to be honest, I’ve realized that it works perfectly from time to time. I have no idea what causes layers with small graphics in 1920×1080 to be full screen that makes animating much harder (for selecting layers and finding layer you’d want to animate). So this “problem” is “solved” and I have no idea how… I suppose it is up to the way I am importing .ai file in AfterEffects.

Hm it is very strange.
I’ve load this file into my Illustrator CC and when hit CTRL+K, open prefs window and set increments to 1 px – both objects move the same speed. When set it to 0.1 px – left moves lets say – 1 px, and the right object moves 0.1 px…
What it might be? Probably problems with my settings?

Well to me interpret footage is not selectable here. It works only on short videos or gif animatons. Not for composition I create here… 🙁 Later I will try to understand this excellent example that actually works attached in previous email 🙂 Thank you guys very much!!

Nope it has two different frames. I want to loop 2 different images/pictures. Or 4, whatever.
