Why we like it

AEJuice Footages to Comps earns its spot in the toolfarm library as a straightforward batch-import script: point it at your selected compositions, drop in your media, and let it auto-resize and place everything. The one-click shuffle is a handy touch for generating multiple variations from the same set of footage.

What is AEJuice Footages to Comps?

AEJuice Footages to Comps is a script for After Effects that batch imports photos and videos into the compositions you select. Instead of bringing in media one file at a time, you can upload more than 100 placeholders in a few clicks, and the script auto-resizes each photo or video for its target composition.

It supports both composition placeholders and regular layers, so it fits projects built either way. When you load footage, you can replace items in the selected order or shuffle all of it randomly with a single click to produce a unique result.

The script is compatible with After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher, and it was last updated on January 29, 2025. It's listed here as free, so check AEJuice's page for current licensing.
