    The script will delete Adjustment layers that are in use regardless of the yes, no option.  Several of my adjustment layers in use in the comps simply disappear when I run the script.  
    I asked for this script a while back on aenhancers.

    Thanks for writing the script.

    Hi Greg,

    Thank you for your feedback, I will look at it soon, I hope it does caused you too much problem. I know the usefulness of this kind of script, I also use it and I have not had this problem with adjustment layers yet. I hope this script is helpful.

    Cheers,
    Michel

    You can think of the word "footage" like water, money, luggage, and data. So the word "footages" in the interface is somewhat awkward.

    Hi,
    The way I understand the word "Footage" in After Effects, it means all audio items, still images, moving picture.

    I see the problem.  I use a script/button to create adjustment layers so they all come in as "Adjustment Layer" rather than "Adjustment Layer 39" as it does by choosing New -> Adjustment Layer.  Maybe my script should allow for numbering of the adjustment layers ...  Also, I often create solids with my Adj layer button then change it into whatever I want.  So, I end up with a lot of solids all named "Adjustment Layer."  I'm sure that's the problem.   
    Any idea how I can allow my script to create a numbered layer instead of an identical name?

    The script works but it's more clicks and trouble than New -> Adjustment Layer.  My button is a one click layer creator in the working comp.  I asked if someone could update the code I'm using on aenhancers.  http://aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2278 ;
    Maybe I can insert some of this code into mine.
    Thanks.

    I would like to see one more button in the "unused" category, Unused Compositions. 
  • michel pensasmichel pensas

    When a composition is empty, it's like an unused composition. So if you Click on Empty Compositions, you remove unused compositions.

    The script still deletes adjustment layers in use, even after numbering each adjustment layer uniquely.  
  • michel pensasmichel pensas
    which button did you Click, Solids in Redundant section or Solids in Unused section ?

    Hi,

    Here are the details of latest versions :

    Revision details - version 1.1
    Fixed a problem of removing unused solids when removing unused Footages.

    Revision details - version 1.2
    Fixed a problem of removing sources of Solids and Footages before being able to check layers in composition due to certain Layers types.

    Fixed a problem of removing sources of Solids and Footages before checking all layers referring to this source in a composition.

    You can download the latest version from  the 'My Downloads & Licenses' section of your user account.  

    Cheers,

    Michel

    Michel,  v1.2 seems to work really well.  I gave it an initial test and didn't see any problems.  Very cool work!  Thank you.

    Compatible with CC2015.3?
  • michel pensasmichel pensas
    Hi,
    I do not have the CC 2015.3 release. I will nevertheless do testing with the CC 2015.2 version and I'll let you know

    This does not seem to be compatible with CC 2017, fyi.

    Working in a project where I am importing nulls from maya and boy did my solids folder get ugly. This plugin cleaned up those redundant layers perfectly! What a great plugin, thank you!

    Hi, I'm trying to have this work with kbar, but no luck.

    Has anyone had any success in doing this? Or suggestions with solutions?
  • Darren HszDarren Hsz
    I wish this were still current...I'd love to automatically clean up redundant nulls, adjustment layers, solids, and anything else that's referencing the same file twice, etc.

    It does not work with After Effects 2021 and 2022.
