Now I dupe it so = its template.1. I open it and go to the comps that you put stills in = and fill them up. All looks good in the master template. Now time for video 2. I dupe that template and give it a new name. Now = I go into the photo comps (still with same names of 001, 002 etc) and = replace the photos. Now I go back to the first temp and the photos in = temp 1 are now changed.=20 How do you work with a template to make multiple videos in the same = project? Do I have to change every name of every comp? Or just the = root level folder (which did not seem to work). Or do I need to open a = new project for each one? thanks=20 Lou Lou Wirth Productions 500Tamal Plaza, Suite 522 Corte Madera, CA 94925 www.louwirth.com 415-924-9411p =20
