In this lecture guys you are going to learn how to release footage when the footage goes missing.
Remember the after effects will only keep a link from your project or from the asset in your project
to your storage device.
If you change things on your storage device or you remove it completely of course the link is broken
and aftereffects cannot find your videos and your images and so on.
So how to restore this.
I will show you an example here.
It's going to file and let's go to open recent and we think the file that we used last lecture I would
click on it now an error message has appeared after effects warning 12 files are missing since your
last saved project.
You just click OK and that you'll notice that the missing files have a placeholder word that looks like
the TV is in 1960 or 70 when the colors start to restore the link you just right click on the file itself
and you go to replace footage and you say fine.
Now since after have X doesn't know where to start is going to start.
On Windows this PC documents fan you'll have to navigate to find this file.
The Mac is on one drive and it's in assets and project.
Here we are then it is inside I assets remember that we are looking for the file aerial view forest
so click on it only and I would say import hadiah now knows exactly what's going to happen.
It did not only replace the aerial view for that I was looking for.
It tried to find all the other files where the name matches only the name is matching at the time not
the size nothing only the name and actually it found them and it has replaced them.
So you click OK and here you are you're on.
If you'd like to open the composition for example you'll notice that all the videos are here and he
has found them and establish that link.
Remember to come back and say file save so you can save these links again if you close without saving
then that ink disappears again.
Cool guys.
So this is about relinking your footage.
Thank you very much for listening.
I will see you in the next lecture.
