Install in 4 steps
The installer handles everything — panel, registry, Everything setup. For real.
Run install.bat as admin
Right-click → Run as administrator. It installs the panel, enables it, and sets up Everything for you.
Restart After Effects
Open it from Window > Extensions > Missing Files Finder.
Scan & relink
Select your missing items, hit SCAN, then RELINK ALL. That's the whole job.
The magic is Everything by voidtools — a free tool that indexes your whole machine and finds any file in milliseconds. The installer downloads and configures it automatically (or uses your existing copy).
How it works
Scan
One click finds every missing footage item in your project.
Find — in milliseconds
Everything searches your entire machine instantly. Single match? Auto-selected. Multiple? You pick.
Relink all
One button relinks everything it matched — optionally copying files into your project folder first.
Why it slaps
Millisecond search
Powered by Everything's index of your whole machine — no folder guessing, no "search subfolders" coffee breaks.
Relink All
Every uniquely-matched file relinks in one click. Multiple candidates? Pick from a list, done.
PSD layer-aware
Relinking a PSD normally nukes your layer references. This panel preserves them (via AutoHotkey automation).
Copy on relink
Optionally copy found files into your project folder while relinking — consolidate as you fix.
Native dark UI
Sits in After Effects like it was born there — same pink-purple family as TikTalk and Bin Sorter.
Free, forever
Open source. Finding your own files shouldn't be a subscription.
