Refreshing a Precomp after changes
by pixeleyed on May 18, 2007 at 5:57:43 pm

I guess this should be an easy one, but I never had to do this before due to my normal workflow.

How do you replace a precomped mov by making alterations to the precomp that made it in the first place? I.E.: If you update the composition that was generated by pre-composing layers after the precomp took place.
.
(I need to add a bit more tail to a coustics effect reference layer that was tracked and roto'd using 3subsequent track points due to extreme cam movement. So if it slides in time going back and forth into the main comp I'm going to waste a lot of time. )

Highlight the movie in question. Do a command-h keystroke (ctl-h win), then navigate to the movie in question and double-click it. Done.

Y'know, there might also be a post-render action that will do the trick, too. It's called something "Import and replace in comp" or something like that. I've never used it myself, so I'm unsure how it really behaves.
