Why we like it

Find Missing Files earns its place in the toolfarm library for reducing missing-file relinking to a single click and for its kBar integration.

What is AEJuice Find Missing Files?

AEJuice Find Missing Files is a script for After Effects that relinks missing files in a single click. When files in a project go missing, you select a folder where they might be located, and the script searches through that folder automatically and relinks the missing files it finds.

Search time depends on how many files sit in the folder — the more files there are, the longer the search takes. For that reason it works best when you point it at the folder where the missing files are most likely to be located, rather than a large folder that takes longer to scan. The script is also integrated with kBar.

AEJuice Find Missing Files supports After Effects CC 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and higher. It was last updated in October 2023 and is listed here as free; check the developer's page for current licensing details.

Frequently asked questions

Does AEJuice Find Missing Files work with After Effects CC 2018?

AEJuice Find Missing Files supports After Effects CC 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and higher, so CC 2018 is covered. The same version range applies as both its stated compatibility and its requirements, meaning any of these releases can run the script. If you are on a newer version beyond 2022, the "or higher" note points to continued support, though it is worth confirming on the developer's page for the exact version you are running.

How does AEJuice Find Missing Files relink missing files?

AEJuice Find Missing Files relinks missing files in one click. You select a folder where the files might be located, and the script searches through that folder automatically and relinks the missing files it finds. Search time depends on the number of files in the folder — a folder with more files takes longer to scan — so it works best when you specify the folder where the missing files are most likely to be located.

Does AEJuice Find Missing Files integrate with kBar?

AEJuice Find Missing Files is integrated with kBar. If you use kBar in your After Effects setup, that means the script can be accessed through it alongside your other tools. The core function stays the same either way: you select a folder where the files might be located, and the script searches through it and relinks the missing files in one click.

Is AEJuice Find Missing Files free?

AEJuice Find Missing Files is listed here as free. For current licensing terms and any conditions tied to the download, check the developer's page directly, since offers and terms can change over time. The script's stated compatibility spans After Effects CC 2015 through 2022 and higher, and it was last updated in October 2023, so it remains a fairly recent release for relinking missing files.
