Phil, Thanks! I will try that. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ 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. –Stanley Kubrick From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Phil Spitler One idea would be to load the project then save it as XML from AE. Then open that in a text editor and do a search and replace for the fie path. Load the xml back into AE. Hope that helps.

They sent the missing files and an updated project file. The first file they sent was a collect. I opened the new file which is not a collect – it of course reports all the files missing. I link to the first set and AE only find the files in that folder – does not read the rest of the files from missing drive. What’s the simplest way to fix this? (we are talking thousands of folders) If they redo the collect on their end with collect source files set to none – I don’t think it will relink. I’m brain dead from lack of sleep and hoping there is an obvious solution as it take 90 minutes to open the damn project. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction.
