Hi! I used the script with the “Use XML project” option selected. The log stated that 12 files were successfully replaced. When I opened the updated .aepx file I was prompted with the following warnings:

After Effects error: No element found
( 83 :: 2 )
After Effects warning: Unknown BIB Error. No element found, AXEParser, 1003
( 83 :: 3 )
After Effects warning: Unable to import file ’something_updated.aepx’ as project.

Any ideas as to what happened during the replace? There were no errors reported in the log file.

An observation to note:
No paths are replaced when I execute the script on the same project file with the same search string and WITHOUT the xml option selected.

Thank you for any assistance with this issue.

Fixed the “undefined” error. Please re-download and let me know how it works for you. It was a small error with the dialog box that warned that you need to have the “Allow Scripts to Access Network” preference set to run the script.

This is a great idea, but I get the “undefined” error when I try to run it.
I’m using CS4 9.0.2.42 on windows XP
Is there any way to get it running?

Can the script Search-n-Replace and also change the extension?
I need to batch replace a bunch of AVI files with Quicktime equivalents
