It’s exactly what it says. You simply cannot replace a Text layer with a footage. Footages, compositions, and every other object other than Shape Layer and Text Layer do not have a source property - meaning there is nothing in the Project panel that relates to the layer, so there’s nothing to be replaced when you Alt-Drag your PSD to the Text Layer. If you want to do it, you can first precompose the Text Layer, or just delete it and put your PSD file in it’s place. Remember that you will have to relink the PixelSampler to the new layer, and maybe set some other things up that were related to the original Text Layer.

I hope that helps. Good luck!

I’ve been trying to replace the text layer with a PSD file and I get this error: After Effects error: layer does not have a source. 26:335. Any clues?

The font is called Viper Nora. It’s a freeware font. You can find it on dafont.com I think.

Great stuff as usual, a bit mind boggling, but I love when there’s something wrong in the expression and you go “ah, of course…”! You could be Europe’s own Dan Ebberts.
Thanx!

I had a problem with the AE file. Says “Project contain 5 references to missing effects, starglow, shine, lux + missing font” Are these extra plug-ins or should I have them with my basic CS3 install?

Thanks for the tutorial!
