What It Does
HyperImport handles asset importing from cloud storage (including Google Drive), local files, and CSV spreadsheets. It unpacks ZIP archives automatically, reduces file sizes after import, and swaps assets across projects. Beyond importing, it includes layer selection tools, batch renaming, parenting controls, and custom shortcut keys.
Key Features
Cloud and batch importing. Pull assets directly from cloud URLs or import multiple items via a CSV file. The plugin automatically unpacks ZIP files and optimizes file sizes.
Auto-replacement system. Swap assets across comps without manually relinking. Useful for versioning client work or updating stock footage.
Layer selection shortcuts. Select by type (text, null, shape, 3D, guide, audio), choose random layers, or grab parent/child relationships. Speeds up work in complex compositions.
Batch layer operations. Duplicate layers with positional offsets, trim in/out points across selections, set track mattes, rename layers or sources, apply label colors, and add markers in bulk.
Rigging tools. Convert puppet pins to null objects for easier character animation control.
Project management. Consolidate project files, reduce unused assets, collect fonts (requires separate Font Collect plugin), and export expressions to JSX files.
Customizable shortcuts and expressions. Assign keyboard shortcuts to any function. Save custom expressions for reuse.
Who It’s For
Motion designers managing large projects with frequent asset updates, template creators who version work for multiple clients, and animators working with cloud-based asset libraries or CSV-driven data workflows.
