I understand a lot of the words, but I wouldn't know what to do with them. I guess search for "J:" and try replacing with the name of the drive that contains your project. Be sure to "Save As" in case this blows up your neighborhood. >> >> >> >> On Mar 26, 2012, at 6:02 PM, Michael Murphy wrote: >> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I've been using AE on both Windows and Macs for years, using MacDrive with little problems. Today I tried to open an AE file that I created on a Windows 7 machine on my Lion machine, and all the footage is missing, as AE has saved the file path of the footage with a PC drive letter of J: instead of the name of the drive and OSX is ignoring this. I have NEVER had this problem before in over 7 years of using this workflow. I would find and replace the footage, but there are hundreds of files in various directories, so that is really impossible. To make matters worse, my Windows machine has just died so I can't open the and change it there >>> >>> I'm pretty certain that there is no way to find and replace the file path in AE.
