Aescripts - Super Sweeper

Super Sweeper by Aescripts is a powerful After Effects plugin designed to streamline and optimize large, complex project files. Whether you're under tight deadlines or working with legacy projects from other teams, Super Sweeper significantly improves workflow by automating the organization and cleanup of your After Effects workspace.

This plugin takes the stress out of managing messy project files by intelligently restructuring compositions and their associated assets. With a single click, Super Sweeper moves and reorganizes files into a clean and logical folder structure, allowing you to focus more on creative execution rather than tedious project maintenance.

One of its standout features is the ability to lock specific folders or items. These locked elements are preserved during the cleanup and are moved directly to the project root, ensuring no unintended restructuring affects essential assets. This functionality is especially helpful when working with templates or legacy files that need partial restructuring.

Super Sweeper automatically detects and removes unnecessary folders, consolidating useful elements such as audio, images, solids, project files, video, and 3D content into a single, well-organized template folder. You can also perform folder string searches to quickly locate specific compositions or elements within a disorganized file structure.

Another essential benefit is its role in preparing projects for archiving or delivery. Super Sweeper helps avoid zip errors by streamlining the collection process, removing redundant or unused files, and flattening the folder hierarchy. This results in clean, export-ready projects that are easier to share and maintain.

After the cleanup process, Super Sweeper provides a transparent summary of all changes made, offering users full visibility into the new folder structure. This makes it easy to track modifications and verify the organizational improvements.

Whether you're an individual motion designer or part of a post-production team, Super Sweeper brings structure, clarity, and speed to your After Effects workflow, helping you maintain focus on creativity while minimizing technical distractions.
