A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

You can also save the AE file as xml then do a "search and replace" in your favorite text editor.

 

This will can swap the jpg to RAW but you probably cannot change the interpretation.

David,

 

So it he would need to import all the raw files, then run the script to swap jpg’s for RAW? Does it work off the filename in AE?

I may have something that could work, It would need to be modified for file paths though. It currently swaps mov layer timeline layers for r3d equivalents, so all files would need to be in the AE project window to begin with.

I have a client that has a project with several thousand JPG images. They want to relink to the raw versions of those files. These are not image sequences. Just a huge number of stills – all with different varying interpret image settings, so scripts like Immigration and Batch replace don’t appear to work.


Is manual one at a time the only solution?
