Super Sweeper earns a place in the aescripts library for its focused approach to tidying After Effects projects, with controls to protect items you'd rather leave in place.
Super Sweeper is a project-organization script for After Effects by Akimbo Studio. It sorts your comps and assets, reduces unnecessary folder depth, and consolidates assets by file type, while leaving items you don't want reorganized untouched.
Recent updates have expanded its controls. Version 1.1.0 added a checkbox for re-searching using already created folder searches, which auto-populates when checked, and reworked the interface to accommodate more checkboxes. Custom folders now work correctly and avoid duplicate files from reimports, and creating a custom folder adds the search term to the folder's comment section. There is an option to reduce with or without an expressions search, and the reduce option no longer reduces compositions referenced in expressions. Help-tip descriptions were added for each button and checkbox.
Locked folders were re-added, and the UI includes spacing and margin adjustments plus checkboxes that automatically rejustify when the window is resized. Version 1.2.0 updated the JSX licensing framework version for improved stability. The script runs in After Effects 2023 through 2026, and a demo video is available.
Super Sweeper is best for after Effects users organizing project comps and assets by reducing folder depth and consolidating files.
Super Sweeper is completely free to download and use.
Super Sweeper is compatible with After Effects 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. If you work across multiple machines or update your host software regularly, this range covers several recent releases. Version 1.2.0, released January 7, 2026, updated the JSX licensing framework version for improved stability, so running a current build alongside a supported After Effects version is the most reliable setup for organizing your comps and assets.
Super Sweeper protects the things you don't want reorganized, and locked folders were re-added in version 1.1.0. Its reduce option was also altered so it doesn't reduce compositions that are referenced in an expression, and you can choose to reduce with or without an expressions search. Custom folders work correctly and avoid duplicate files from reimports, so your existing structure and referenced comps stay intact while the rest of the project is consolidated.
Super Sweeper is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change and the script uses the aescripts licensing framework, which was updated in version 1.2.0, check the developer's page for the current details before you download. A demo video is also available, so you can review the script's organization workflow and interface options before deciding whether it fits your After Effects projects.
Super Sweeper 1.1.0, dated June 20, 2025, added a checkbox for re-searching using already created folder searches that auto-populates when checked, along with several UI modifications for more checkboxes. Custom folders were fixed to avoid duplicate files from reimports, and creating one now adds the search term to the folder's comment section. Help-tip descriptions were added for each button and checkbox, checkboxes rejustify on window resize, and spacing and global margins were adjusted throughout.
