Replace / substitute picture on timeline

[rickt51422169]

I would think this is a simple task, but I'm not finding how to replace an existing picture with a different one on the timeline. I've finished adding transitions and music, so I'd like to keep all that in place. Is there a way to simply replace an existing picture for a different one?

The only way is to delete it and replace it, then replace the transitions.

You might be able to "trick" it by changing the name of the image file in the operating system, but I've never tried it!

I haven't tried it in Premiere Elements, but do you have an option to replace it if you right click it on the timeine?

Yep, sure enough. I found it. Open Project Assets and select the new/replacement picture. Right-click on the picture to be replaced on the timeline. Select Clip > Replace Clip From Project Assets.

This definitely is not working for me.

Where is Open Project Assets under in Ps?

[Steve Grisetti]

Photoshop and Photoshop Elements do not have project assets panels, marco.

I couldn't find the replace clip option, but I was able to follow the same steps I would in After Effects and it worked for Premiere Pro too, i.e. click on the old clip in the timeline, then press alt while clicking on the new clip in the project panel and drag it on top to replace. All the other settings, including effects, stayed the same.

This is the way
