QuickLink Items earns its place for doing one job, reconnecting missing project assets, and staying focused on it, with search that covers whole drives or targeted folders and clear found-or-missing feedback.
QuickLink Items is a find-and-replace utility for After Effects, built by NT Productions to locate missing items in a project and relink them. It can scan entire drives or point at specific folders, then report clear results showing whether each item was found or remains missing.
The tool works with image sequences, using the source file name rather than the item name so renamed items replace correctly. Later versions added camera raw support and handling for .mkv and .ts files. It runs on both Mac and Windows, supports most After Effects versions from 2025 back to CC, and works with nearly every language and script.
QuickLink Items stands out in the aescripts library for keeping the missing-footage task narrow and fast. The current release is version 1.7, updated April 23, 2026, with recent updates fixing bugs around file finding and non-English language support. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
QuickLink Items is best for after Effects users who need to track down and relink missing footage, including image sequences and camera raw files, across drives or specific folders.
QuickLink Items is completely free to download and use.
QuickLink Items supports a broad range of After Effects releases, including 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, and CC. It runs on both Mac and Windows, so most current and older setups are covered. The current version is 1.7, updated April 23, 2026. If you're on a specific build, it's worth confirming against the developer's page before installing.
QuickLink Items handles image sequences as part of its find-and-replace workflow. It uses the source file name rather than the item name, so items that have been renamed still replace appropriately. Support for image sequences was added in version 1.1, and later updates added camera raw support along with .mkv and .ts file formats. This lets it relink a range of asset types when locating missing footage across drives or specific folders.
QuickLink Items runs on both Mac and Windows and supports most After Effects versions on each platform. Earlier releases included fixes aimed at Mac compatibility, and version 1.6 fixed a critical issue that prevented some non-English language computers from working properly. It also works with nearly every language and script. If you work across mixed operating systems or non-English setups, those fixes are reflected in the current 1.7 release.
QuickLink Items is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any details on how it's distributed, check the developer's page on aescripts, since terms can change over time. The tool comes from NT Productions and is currently at version 1.7, updated April 23, 2026. A demo video is also available if you'd like to see more before downloading.
