Description




You've got a filthy After Effects file. We're here to help you sweep it up.

After Effects files get messy. Maybe you've inherited a project from another freelancer and need to turn around a revision on a deadline. Maybe you're trying to ship a file collect off and just need it to zip properly and look presentable. Or honestly, maybe you're a true-blooded creative who hates the monotony of file organization.

What if there was a way to skip the cleanup and focus on the creativity?

This is Super Sweeper - a tool for After Effects that instantly sorts your comps and assets, eliminating unnecessary folder depth and consolidating assets by filetype, all while protecting the things you don't want reorganized.

Keep your organization safe

Sometimes you don't want to sort everything. Highlight folders and items to protect them and the items within and move them to the project root folder.

Only the folders you need

No more empty/unnecessary template folders. Super Sweeper creates folders as they are needed, automatically sorting Audio, Image, Project File, Solid, and VIDEO/3D files and grouping by filetype.

Sweep your own way

Not all compositions are the same. Create custom folders with string searches to make certain comps more accessible, and re-search with the same custom folders using the Keep Custom Folders checkbox.

Create collect-ready files

No more zip errors. Choose to reduce the project by selection, removing all files and folders you don't need before sweeping up the rest. Reduce folder depth by eliminating nested imports, bringing all of your assets to the same level. You can even protect items that are only referenced in-expression, resulting in a better-protected reduce.
