Is there a way to get full name of replaced media

[rafałp69819657]

Adobe recently added option to replace image or video in motion graphics panel. Is there a way to get name of replaced media? I need it to be shown on screen using Source Text for text layer.

I tried many methods but non of them worked.

1. I tired to get filename of layer in comp by using thisComp.layer(2).source.name , this gave me filename of placeholder even after replacing it with other media. 

2. I tired to get filename of comp that will be replace by using comp("Media to replace").source.name. This also didn't worked. 

I need it because we use filename to provide copyright info about media source.

I don't think so. This is a one-way street and the AE expressions engine simply has no way of knowing what happens outside its little sandbox.

You are absolutely right! I forgot that MOGRT are basicly in sandbox when used in Premire Pro. I spent hours trying every expression possible, without any good results. To prove your point I searched for filepath info in .aegraphics file after linking new media in Premire Pro essential graphics panel. It really looks like all info is stored in .prproj, and AE simply don't know such info.

Thank you for your answer.

So is there really no way to access any of the properties of the replacement media with expressions? This is super annoying since I was hoping to use this feature in templates that need to be responsive to things like the footage aspect ratio.
