Replace source

- The set of gems I'd like to share with you in this movie…is how to replace of piece of source footage,…without losing work you've already done.…such as adding it to a Composition, trimming it,…Keyframing values, adding effects, et cetera.…There's a few different approaches to this.…Now, if you know that all you have is a updated version…of a clip you've already have been using,…the simplest way to go about it is…just to replace the footage inside your Project.…I'll right-click on it.…I'll say Reveal this Layer Source in the Project.…I now have it selected.…

Go to File, Replace Footage with another File.…If I know the clients gave me an updated…piece of Footage, I just select that,…click Open,…and now my Source has been replaced.…I have the same trim points.…I have the same Keyframes.…I have the same effects.…Nothing is lost.…That kind of assumes that things are organized…and not chaotic,…and you know Source A is going to be…replaced with Source B.…Sometimes, you're client's going to give you…a whole folder full of Sources…
