Replace footage in a video layer (Photoshop Extended)

Photoshop Extended tries to maintain the link between the video layer and source file even if you move or rename the source. If the link breaks for some reason, an alert icon  appears on the layer in the Layers panel. To relink the video layer to the source file, use the Replace Footage command. This command can also replace the video or image sequence frames in a video layer with frames from a different video or image sequence source.

  1. In the Animation or Layers panel, select the video layer that you want to relink to the source file or to replace the content.
  2. Choose Layer > Video Layers > Replace Footage.
  3. In the Open dialog box, select a video or image sequence file, and then click Open.
