macOS menu bar app that collects all your After Effects media into one folder.

If you edit After Effects projects, you know the pain. Media files end up scattered everywhere — Downloads, an old external drive, some folder you made six months ago. AE File Organizer fixes that. It reads your .aep or .aepx project file, tracks down every piece of referenced media on your Mac, and collects it all into one folder.

Drop it in your menu bar, point it at your project, and it does the work. It searches Spotlight first (instant), then falls back to a deep scan of your Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Movies, Music, and Pictures folders. Found files show up in a list — you pick what to include, copy or move them, and it handles naming collisions automatically.

Best part: when it's done, it can relink all the paths in your project file so After Effects opens clean — no missing footage warnings. For binary .aep files it generates a JSX script that runs right inside AE. Native Swift app, no Electron, no dependencies, ~183KB. macOS Ventura and up.
