Why we like it

Find My AEP earns its place in the aescripts library as a small utility with a single, clear job: getting you to your project file in the operating system's file browser. Its cross-platform and cloud-storage compatibility, plus support across seven After Effects versions, make it broadly usable.

What is Find My AEP?

Find My AEP is an After Effects plugin from Mograph Mindset that reveals your project file in the Finder on macOS or Explorer on Windows. From within After Effects, you jump straight to your project file's location.

The plugin runs on both Windows and macOS and is compatible with cloud storage services, including Google Drive and Dropbox, so projects kept in synced folders can be located the same way. Support for Apple Silicon was added in version 2.3, and KBar support has been available since version 1.1. A later update added handling for international languages and adjusted the reveal command to match each operating system.

Find My AEP works across After Effects 2020 through 2026, covering seven recent releases. It sits at version 2.7, last updated in February 2025, which added debug info. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
