Handles both After Effects and Premiere Pro from one extension, with a deep set of sort parameters and the ability to move files on disk as well as inside a project. The 2026 changelog shows a steady run of fixes and additions.
Project Sorter 2 is a Leyero extension that automatically sorts project media in After Effects and Premiere Pro. It mirrors an existing folder structure and supports auto-sorting in After Effects, drag-and-drop import into Project Sorter, and a split-view that shows two presets at once. The interface is intuitive, and it includes a parameter conflict system.
Media can be sorted by parameters including Media Type, Duration, Use Count, File Name, Name in Project, Date Created, Date Modified, Resolution, File Path, File Extension, Aspect Ratio, Alpha Channel, Pixel Aspect Ratio, Audio Hz, and Audio Channel. Actions include Move In Project, Move On PC/Mac disk, and Add or Update Metadata. It can also auto-unzip archives before sorting and importing, and auto-import files after downloading into linked folders.
Recent versions added per-folder parameters and actions that depend on the host application, Source Path Rules to copy, move, or skip files from specific paths, auto-relink for files renamed on disk after watch folder import, a resizable preferences panel, and the option to mute notifications. Version 2.1.6 fixed the aspect ratio parameter.
Project Sorter 2 is best for sorting and organising project media across After Effects and Premiere Pro, including moving files on disk and adding metadata.
Project Sorter 2 is completely free to download and use.
Project Sorter 2 is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, and 2024, along with Premiere Pro 2026, 2025, and 2024. It runs in both applications, and version 2.1.5 added the ability to set different parameters and actions depending on which host application a folder is active in, so a folder can be limited to Premiere Pro or After Effects only. For licensing and the latest compatibility details, check Leyero's page on aescripts.
