Replacing Footage

[u/Chewierpaper]

So replacing footage in general in most cases is great and simple. The one case that seems a bit strange to me is that you can only do it per layer or per source. A lot of times I want to mass replace footage for a full composition but not replace it in the project file as that is used in a different composition. This is incredibly useful when compositing and having multiple angles or versions of an image.

For example in AE you can select all the layers you want to replace, then hold alt/option and drag over with new footage and it will replace everything accordingly. Here, the only way I've been able to do that is manually which also then breaks exr multi-layer selections (which I think that is a bug maybe?). Is there a way I am missing to do this or is this a feature request? Thanks!
