Hi
I assume you are using random transitions and not all the same.
What you have asked is a very very good question, why is there no facility to batch replace images.
What you are asking is possible but not really practical to achieve.
Each image in turn will have to be re-linked to a new image.
Click an image in the timeline to select.
File Re-link, browse for a new image,
Repeat with the other 199 images.
Ok
Assuming your original images are in one folder some where on the hard drive.
Each image has a unique name like:- IMG_0001 (1).JPG IMG_0001 (2).JPG and so on.
Your new images are in a separate folder also containing the same unique names.Copy these new images to the original folder, this will overwrite the old images. (if you want the old images copy them elsewhere)
When you open the project in VS you will be asked to re-link.
Notice the link box indicates the file to re-link.
Re-linking the first image should re-link all images.
But it will only re-link all if the filenames are identical.

Trevor
