Hi,

 

I often need multiple versions of a .PSD file, for example a character to be used in an animation, may need different clothes and hair styles, these PSD files have many layers.

I need to use the same AE project, I only want to swap the PSD, let’s say for example a different version of the PSD for each scene (one AE project file for each scene).

Is there an easy way to do this without a lot of hassle, not having to rename the original PSD and having to replace it every time for each time I work on an AE project?

I would like to know about a solution that does not require making another copy of the project etc.

I have read in older ae-list posts about for example exporting and search/replace in an XML file, but there must be a better way?

Thanks
