Replacing footage of one or more layers


    You can replace the original source footage of one or more layers without changing any settings applied to the original footage. The new source footage or composition takes the place of the old source to the layers, but uses the existing keyframes.

To replace the source footage of one or more layers:

  1. In a Timeline window, select the layer or layers to be replaced.
  2. Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag a footage item or composition from the Project window to any of the following places containing the selected layers: the Composition window, the Timeline window, or the Composition icon in the Project window.
