What It Does
QuickLink Items scans drives or folders to find missing footage, images, and other assets in After Effects projects. Point it at a search location, run the scan, and the plugin attempts to reconnect broken file links automatically.
The plugin works with most media formats but does not support layered Photoshop or Illustrator files. Logs show which items were found and which remain missing.
Key Features
Comprehensive search. Scan entire drives or narrow the search to specific folders. The plugin handles image sequences and matches files by source name rather than layer name, so renamed items still reconnect properly.
Multi-language support. Works with nearly every language and character set, including non-Latin scripts.
Detailed feedback. After each scan, a log displays which items were successfully relinked and which remain missing. This helps track down stubborn files or confirm everything is connected.
Recent format additions. Version 1.4 added support for .mkv and .ts video files. Camera raw formats were added in version 1.3.
Who It’s For
Useful for editors working with projects that moved between computers or shared drives. Also helpful when archiving old projects where original footage paths have changed.
Pricing
QuickLink Items uses a pay-what-you-want model. The suggested price is $9.99, but you can set your own amount when purchasing. A trial version is available to test compatibility before buying.
