00:00:01,650 --> 00:00:07,800
In this lecture guys you are going to learn how to release footage when the footage goes missing.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,350
Remember the after effects will only keep a link from your project or from the asset in your project

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,790
to your storage device.

4
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:21,940
If you change things on your storage device or you remove it completely of course the link is broken

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,500
and aftereffects cannot find your videos and your images and so on.

6
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,570
So how to restore this.

7
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:30,180
I will show you an example here.

8
00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:36,610
It's going to file and let's go to open recent and we think the file that we used last lecture I would

9
00:00:36,610 --> 00:00:43,360
click on it now an error message has appeared after effects warning 12 files are missing since your

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,380
last saved project.

11
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:51,720
You just click OK and that you'll notice that the missing files have a placeholder word that looks like

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:01:01,070
the TV is in 1960 or 70 when the colors start to restore the link you just right click on the file itself

13
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:04,630
and you go to replace footage and you say fine.

14
00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:08,210
Now since after have X doesn't know where to start is going to start.

15
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:15,260
On Windows this PC documents fan you'll have to navigate to find this file.

16
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:19,460
The Mac is on one drive and it's in assets and project.

17
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:28,050
Here we are then it is inside I assets remember that we are looking for the file aerial view forest

18
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,610
so click on it only and I would say import hadiah now knows exactly what's going to happen.

19
00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:38,980
It did not only replace the aerial view for that I was looking for.

20
00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:45,460
It tried to find all the other files where the name matches only the name is matching at the time not

21
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:51,660
the size nothing only the name and actually it found them and it has replaced them.

22
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,460
So you click OK and here you are you're on.

23
00:01:54,460 --> 00:02:00,730
If you'd like to open the composition for example you'll notice that all the videos are here and he

24
00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:03,100
has found them and establish that link.

25
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:10,360
Remember to come back and say file save so you can save these links again if you close without saving

26
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,050
then that ink disappears again.

27
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,370
Cool guys.

28
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,300
So this is about relinking your footage.

29
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,820
Thank you very much for listening.

30
00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:20,220
I will see you in the next lecture.
