Hi, we have a very annoying bug here.
All the projects I create with my machine work fine on my machine, but when we try to open them on another machine, after effects doesn't find the footages paths anymore, so we have to replace them by hand (and it's very difficult because it loses name also).

Only my machine does that, anybody ever had this kind of problem ?

Where's the footage located?

If it's on your local machine, when you try and give the file to someone else, it doesn't take all the footage with you. But, I assume this isn't the case.

If it's located on some external/portable device, and they can't locate it... it's probably because it has a different drive letter on the 2nd computer. For example, on your computer it could be D:/, but on your 2nd computer, it could load up as E:/. If this is the case, let us know, and we can show you how to change that.

If the footage is located on some server that you both have access to, I assume it would be the same problem as before. When you load a network storage space, it still loads as a specefic drive letter. If you have different drive letters, you'll get an issue.

Did that help?
