Object Linking

Post by prabhat »

Hi,

Is there any way to import a vector/raster file and maintain the "link" with the external file?

Many a time we change the file after few days, this will help auto updation.

The file at FRAME 0 should should be linked to the external file and ofcourse auto-update all keyframes there after.


Regards

When you import a raster image file (or movie file), Moho always retains a link to the external file. So, if you change the image file later, the image layer in Moho will reflect that change. We recommend keeping the image files in the same folder as the Moho file so that they can be moved around - to a different compuer, a different folder, a backup disk, etc. - and still retain their links.

If you import an AI file, the link is not maintained. This is because when you import an AI file, it gets converted into Moho vector shapes, and you can manipulate/edit/animate these shapes. If you reverted back to a linked file, all editing you did in Moho would get lost.
