OrganizerPro earns its place in the aescripts library by turning a manual chore into a single button press. It stands out for combining sorting, file-type identification, and shareable presets, so studios can keep project panels consistent without imposing on how individual designers work.
OrganizerPro tackles project panel cleanup in After Effects. You select the compositions you want to organize, hit the button, and it analyzes and sorts the project panel according to your selection and settings in one click. Selected compositions land inside a root folder called RENDER, while everything else is sorted into a RESOURCES folder.
Along the way, it extracts compositions, precompositions, images, videos, and audio from cluttered projects and moves unnecessary items into a separate folder. Solids are gathered into their own folder, files are identified by type and extension, and redundant files and empty folders are removed to optimize the project.
Folder structures are customizable to fit your requirements, and each composition can begin at 0 for consistent timing. Presets can be shared with teammates through a simple file, helping establish a uniform organization system across a studio without disrupting motion designer workflows.
OrganizerPro is best for motion designers and studios who want to declutter and standardize After Effects project panels quickly.
OrganizerPro is completely free to download and use.
OrganizerPro lists compatibility with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, covering a wide span of recent releases. Once it is available in your project, you select the compositions you want to organize and hit the button, and it sorts your project panel according to your selection and settings. If you are running a version within that range, it fits alongside your existing setup. For any version outside this list, check the developer's page for current details before installing.
OrganizerPro is listed as free here in the catalog. It analyzes and sorts your project panel with one click, placing selected compositions in a RENDER folder and everything else in RESOURCES. Because licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The current version is 1.2, released on July 22, 2024, so you can confirm you are getting the latest build straight from the official source.
OrganizerPro supports preset sharing, letting you exchange configurations with peers using a simple file. Version 1.1 added a Manage Presets button, and the developer notes this sharing happens without disrupting anyone's workflow. It is meant to help establish a uniform project organization system across a studio while letting motion designers keep their own workflows. If your team wants consistent folder structures, presets can be passed around as files rather than configured individually on each machine.
OrganizerPro reached version 1.2 on July 22, 2024. This update changed the Shared Precomps folder so it now only gathers precomps shared between the compositions of your selection and their precompositions. It also improved error handling and integrated an inline JSON library. Earlier, version 1.1 added a Manage Presets button, corrected a checkbox error, and reduced the UI height with a permanent scrollbar for a more universal fit across screens.
