Quick Access 2 earns its place in the aescripts library by consolidating recent import, render, and project paths, favorites, and an effects history into one interface. The 2.0 release rebuilt the UI and added png and jpg rendering options, and version 2.0.1 fixed a file-import bug affecting CC 2015 and earlier.
Quick Access 2 is a file navigation tool for After Effects from R-Smart, built to save time finding files and folders. It provides quick access to recent import paths, recent render paths, recent After Effects project paths, your last path, and favorite paths, so common locations stay within reach.
Version 2.0 introduced a new interface and removed the extra steps and preparation the tool previously needed. Favorites can be created along the way, and the list of recent paths is kept clean by default, with extra paths cut off by an intelligent algorithm. A history of effects was added as well — you start typing a name to find one.
The tool also handles image output: it can render selected layers to a png file, with post-render actions offering multiple settings, and it can render a composition to a jpg file when a jpg preset is available. It runs across After Effects releases from CS6 through 2021, and a demo video is available.
Quick Access 2 is best for after Effects users who want quicker access to recent files, folders, and paths, plus favorites and an effects history.
Quick Access 2 is completely free to download and use.
Quick Access 2 is compatible with After Effects 2021 and 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, and CS6. That range covers older Creative Cloud releases as well as the CS6 generation, so users on legacy versions can run it alongside those on newer builds. The current release is 2.0.1, published on May 18, 2021, which fixed a bug with importing some files in CC 2015 and earlier. For the latest compatibility details, check the developer's page.
Quick Access 2 adds rendering of selected layers to a png file, and post-render actions come with multiple settings you can configure. It can also render the composition to a jpg file, though this works only if you have a jpg preset available. These options were introduced in version 2.0 alongside the effects history feature. Together they extend the tool beyond path navigation into quick image output within After Effects. Refer to the developer's page for setup specifics.
Quick Access 2 is listed as free here in our catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, check R-Smart's page on aescripts for the current details before downloading. The catalog entry covers version 2.0.1, updated on May 18, 2021, which added a new interface, favorites, an effects history, and image rendering options in the 2.0 release. Confirm the latest terms directly with the developer to be sure of what applies when you download.
Quick Access 2 keeps the list of recent paths clean by default, cutting off extra paths with an intelligent algorithm. Alongside recent import, render, and project paths, it stores your last path and favorite paths, and favorites can be created along the way as you work. Version 2.0 also removed the extra steps and preparation the tool previously required, and the interface was rebuilt in that same release. See the developer's page for more on how these lists behave.
