Path Me earns its place in the aescripts library for turning asset-path copying and importing into a single click across the project panel, timeline, and render queue.
Path Me handles asset paths inside After Effects. A single click copies paths to the clipboard or saves them to a file, and you can grab them from the project panel, the timeline, or the render queue. It works with single or multiple selections.
Selecting nothing scans the entire active panel, while selecting comps scans the whole comp, with an option to also scan sub-comps of scanned comps. Path Me understands both Mac and PC paths.
The plugin also imports files from paths copied to the clipboard, so someone can send you a path and you can bring the assets straight in. Path Me is compatible with After Effects 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019 through CC 2017, and remains at version 1.0 from its 2020 initial release.
Path Me is best for after Effects users who need to copy, save, or import asset paths from the project panel, timeline, or render queue.
Path Me is completely free to download and use.
Path Me is compatible with After Effects 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018, and CC 2017, giving it a wide range across recent and older releases. It sits at version 1.0, which was its initial release on July 30, 2020. If you are running a version within that supported range, the plugin should slot into your project panel, timeline, and render queue workflow. For anything outside that list, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
Path Me understands both Mac and PC paths, reading and copying asset paths from either platform. You can copy paths from the project panel, the timeline, or the render queue, then send them to the clipboard or save them to a file. Selecting nothing scans the entire active panel, selecting comps scans the whole comp, and there is an option to scan sub-comps of scanned comps as well. It also imports files from paths that have been copied to the clipboard.
Path Me imports files from paths that have been copied to the clipboard, so if somebody pathed you, you can bring those assets in directly. On the copying side, a single click grabs paths from the project panel, the timeline, or the render queue and places them on the clipboard or saves them to a file. It handles single or multiple selections, and selecting nothing scans the entire active panel. Both Mac and PC paths are understood, so imports work across those platforms.
Path Me is listed as free in this catalog, so there is no charge noted here to add it to your After Effects setup. Licensing terms can change over time, so it is worth checking the developer's page on aescripts for the current details before you download. The plugin remains at version 1.0 from its July 2020 initial release, and it supports After Effects versions from CC 2017 up through 2024.
