Replace Every Instance of Media in Timeline With Clip in Project Bin?

Question

I have multiple versions of a graphic in my Project Bin, lets call them A, B, and C.

Through out my 30 minute edit, I have used graphic A multiple times.

Now I am doing a new version of the edit where everything is the same, except i want to replace every instance of graphic A in the timeline with graphic B. Instead of a "Replace Media", where I would lose graphic A in the my first edit timeline, i simply want to replace A in my second edit timeline.

Is this possible quickly and easily?

I know the long way is to save individual Project Files for each edit with a different graphic and use the "Replace Media" function, but I am hoping to keep all my timelines in the same project file.

Thanks in advance.

Select one clip, Edit > Select All Matching, and then do the Alt+drop I described earlier.

Select all the clips you want to replace.

Drag the new media from the Project panel and Alt+drop them onto your existing clips.

Note that if you have set in and out points per clip, you might need to revisit those clips to make sure they play as expected.
