Cosmo Change Project Asset Action

The Cosmo Change Project Asset Action node updates the storage path of an existing asset in Cosmo for a specific project only.

Unlike the global Change Asset Action, this node modifies the media location only within the selected project. Other projects referencing the same asset remain unchanged.

It is typically used when media is relocated (for example to archive storage) for a single production while the same source media may still exist at another location for other projects.

If synchronization is enabled, the updated media location will automatically be reflected in the corresponding Premiere Pro or After Effects project after the project is opened.

Synchronization Options

Auto Sync If enabled, the updated file location is synchronized automatically when the project is opened. If disabled, the project will appear as pending synchronization in the panel and must be synced manually.

Skip Metadata Sync If enabled, metadata synchronization in the panel is skipped.

Skip Markers Sync If enabled, marker synchronization in the panel is skipped.

When Auto Sync is disabled, the panel displays an orange counter indicating how many assets still require synchronization or updating.

Behavior

  • Updates the asset path only inside the specified project

  • Does not affect other projects using the same media

  • Does not physically move the file on storage — it only updates the database reference

  • Suitable for project-specific archive or relocation workflows

  • Supports asynchronous execution

Typical Use Case

  1. A finished project is archived to long-term storage.

  2. The media files are moved to a different storage location.

  3. This node updates the media path only for that archived project.

  4. When the project is opened, the media automatically relinks after synchronization.
