Relative/absolute path

[benip71022995]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a relative path for our project media?

When i made a collect file, all my medias are in only one folder and my after effect file use them.

But when i copy my main folder (with my after effect file and all my media)

the link is loosed and my new copied file use the absolute path and search in the old folder.

For production reason, i have to copy them with a relative path but i don't know how...

It would be great if someone have a solution for me

Many thanks

Ben

AE recognizes all files that are at the same level or blow the project file itself as realtive, so I'm not sure what specifically you are having issues with. You haven't provided any detailed info, anyway, making any form of advise impossible.

In my case, I need to use relative path for folder on equal level. We have projects in folders, inside are folder for various things including the source files and after effects projects, since the source files are used by other applications it does not make sense to 'hide' them in the After Effects Projects folder, yet the after effects projects are reused (and copied) frequently, which requires relinking. A solution to this would be handy.

Hi Mylenium

Regarding the relative path: When working on 2-3 projects at the same time, it would be a big help to work with relative paths for the projects. Knowing that when you open the file browser, the path is where your project is located.  

This would be at big time save just to have the option in the preference.

Best regards,
