Replacing objects

The Replace command places a file from another application within the bounding box of a selected object. It maintains the style and transformation information of the selected object.

For example, you could animate an image, then use the Replace command to swap the original image with other images over time. This would create a series of images that retained all the transformations and multilayer effects you applied to the original image.

To replace an object with another file:

1. Select the object or objects you want to replace.
2. Choose File > Replace.
3. Select the file you want to use to replace the selected object.
4. Click Open.

LiveMotion scales the replacement image to match the selected object as closely as possible, crops the object along the shortest dimension if needed, and then reapplies any transformations or effects you previously applied to the image.
