[MacDV] Re: Rendering question

[Matthew Guemple]

Well it's moot now... but
I had a series of letter appearing on the screen sync'd with a very  
flam filled snare drum. I managed to sync on set of letters and instead  
of having to do that again (it took hours) for each letter (8 in all) I  
was trying to figure out how to get the program to do the work for me...
As it turns out, this was unecessary for what I really wanted in the  
end result... but FYI it did work, and there seemed to be very little  
degradation in the final image...

> just how will you trick into using new files?
By closing the program and hiding the files... breaking the link. Then  
pointing AE to different files...

It's not an effect it's the actual image file that I (was) trying to  
change...

In order to ensure that the new images conform to the pattern of the  
old images...
