Redirecting file paths
Posted: October 10th, 2007, 12:21 pm
Hi everybody,
I'm currently working on a compositing job that involves loads of 3d render layers (IFF sequences) organized in different subfolders. That means, each time I'm setting up a new comp, I'll take my standard comp setup and manually replace the footage items in the project window with new items carrying the same name, but originating from a different folder on my harddisk.
I'd love to have a script that could do that job for me, i.e. automating the "replace footage" task by just redirecting the file path to another folder, without changing the actual name of the image sequence. Is there something that's been posted before that I could try to modify? I've done a fair amount of expression work, but I'm a total noob when it comes to AE scripting.
I'd be totally happy if anybody could help me out with anything...
