Earns its place in the aescripts library for bundling media downloading across video, audio and images with clip-range selection, batch downloads and a download history for After Effects and Premiere Pro.
GrabDrop is a downloader for video, audio and image files, made by Leyero for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It holds rank 29 on aescripts.
Working inside these applications, GrabDrop covers downloading media, setting the download location, and choosing a clip range rather than the full source. It supports batch downloading, custom flags, adjustable parameters, cookies, and a download history. Recent updates added the ability to convert a selected clip instead of the whole video, download subtitles separately, and a restrict-filenames option for ASCII-only output names.
It supports After Effects 2026, 2025 and 2024 alongside Premiere Pro 2026, 2025 and 2024. Several recent releases fixed download issues on Windows, including problems with video names and non-ASCII titles. A demo video is available, and the plugin is listed here as free.
GrabDrop is best for after Effects and Premiere Pro users who need to download video, audio or image media for their projects.
GrabDrop is completely free to download and use.
GrabDrop supports After Effects 2026, 2025 and 2024, along with Premiere Pro 2026, 2025 and 2024. It works within both applications as a downloader for video, audio and image files. The current version is 1.0.10, updated on June 21, 2026. If you run an older release of either host, check the developer's page to confirm whether it is covered before installing.
GrabDrop includes a clip-range option, so you can download a specific section rather than the entire source. Recent updates made clip-range downloads more robust and added the ability to convert a selected clip instead of the whole video. It also lets you set the download location and keeps a download history. For more on how the clip range works, the demo video and the developer's page cover the tool further.
GrabDrop supports batch downloading, so you can queue more than one item at a time. Alongside batch downloads it offers custom flags, adjustable parameters, cookies and a download history. The plugin covers video, audio and image media for After Effects and Premiere Pro. For the exact steps involved in setting up a batch, the developer's page and the available demo video walk through the features in more detail.
GrabDrop addressed downloads with accents or non-ASCII characters in the title, such as 'Mbappé', which previously failed on Windows. It also added a 'Restrict filenames' option to force ASCII-only output names, and later releases fixed further issues with video names breaking downloads on Windows. These changes arrived across versions 1.0.2 through 1.0.10. If you work on Windows, updating to the latest version is worth doing for these fixes.
GrabDrop is listed here as free. Pricing and licensing can change, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The plugin works within After Effects and Premiere Pro as a downloader for video, audio and image media, with features including batch downloads, clip-range selection, cookies and a download history. The most recent version, 1.0.10, was released on June 21, 2026.
