Reassigning or adding a directory?

PostFri Apr 06, 2018 9:11 pm

I had some scenes I was working on with my laptop. Now that I have moved to a new tower, when I load a scene, obviously the specific locations for my inputs are wrong. I DO have the same base folder on my tower.

In other programs there is usually a way to point to that folder in a new location. Or in other programs that use a textfile scenefile, one can do a find/replace and change the front of the string for the location. I was wondering how one handles that in Fusion.

I did hunt around, but decided it's time to ask for help.

Thanks,
Rick

Fusion's .comp files are text, you can open them and do a search and replace if you have a lot of footage.

There is also an old script called Change Paths that can do a search-and-replace in your Loaders and/or Savers from within Fusion. It's been updated for Fusion 9 compatibility and included in the Eyeon Legacy Scripts collection available in Reactor:

Or you can download it directly from the Gitlab repository here:
