The whole reason I wrote the Batch Search and Replace Paths scripts is to do it properly. Because the AE xml file is mostly binary encoding the odds that a general text and replace will match something in the binary encoding is high. My script properly parses the XML and only does the search and replace on the footage paths and nothing else. Hence the name. ;-) It will also batch search and replace a folder full of project files that don't need to be in the XML format already so that alone will save you time over doing it in a text editor. It will also give you a report on what it searched and replaced so you can check it to make sure things got done the way you expected them to, in a text editor you would need to use the force.

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

This will can swap the jpg to RAW but you probably cannot ch= ange the interpretation.

I may have something that could work, It would need = to be modified for file paths though. It currently swaps mov=A0layer timeli= ne layers=A0for r3d equivalents, so all files would need to be in the= AE project window to begin with.

Is manual one at a time the only solution?
