QuickOpen sits in the aescripts library as a workflow utility focused on the everyday steps of opening and saving projects, and version 3.1.1 covers a long span of After Effects and Premiere Pro releases from CC 2018 to 2026.
QuickOpen is a project management utility for After Effects and Premiere Pro from Dmytro Khomiakov. It handles opening, managing and saving projects through customizable workflows across both applications.
For opening a project, you can pull up recent files or navigate through folders to find a project file. Saving works alongside Save As: you navigate to a save location, type a filename manually, check existing versions, and click to save. These workflows are customizable.
QuickOpen 3.1.1 supports After Effects and Premiere Pro from CC 2018 through the 2026 release, covering CC 2019 and the 2020 through 2025 versions in between. Version 3.1.1 is the initial release, dated February 5, 2026. It is listed here as free, and a demo video is available. See the developer's page for current licensing details.
QuickOpen is best for after Effects and Premiere Pro users who want customizable workflows for opening, managing and saving project files.
QuickOpen is completely free to download and use.
QuickOpen 3.1.1 lists compatibility with After Effects and Premiere Pro across a wide range of releases: CC 2018, CC 2019, and every version from 2020 through 2026. That means both After Effects 2026 and Premiere Pro 2026 are covered, along with older installs going back to CC 2018. The same compatibility list applies to both applications. Check the developer's page to confirm details for your exact setup before installing.
QuickOpen is listed here as free, so there's no purchase required to add it to your setup.

These steps run through customizable workflows, so you can adjust how opening and saving are handled in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

The workflow covers pulling up recent files, navigating folders to find a project, and saving through Save As with a manually typed filename. A demo video is also available.
