After Effects CC 2022: How To Collect Files To One Footage Folder
This tutorial will show you how to Collect Files in Adobe After Effects CC 2022 to gather all imported assets and files into one Footage Folder. This is particularly useful for collaborating or working on a project with someone else or for archiving and organizing projects. Placing all footage in one Footage folder saved in the main project folder, this makes sure After Effects will not generate errors when the project is opened as it knows the location of the imported files and folders.

Thank you very much for the video, but some of the photos I used in my project are the same ones I used in other projects. When I collect them in a single area, they disappear from the other folder. Is there a method to collect the photos by copying them?

@MikeMurphyCo 9 ай бұрын

Please confirm the exact steps you are taking when you say that you are 'collecting them in a single area'. When you go to File Menu...Dependencies...Collect Files as shown in the tutorial, After Effects will locate the source files and copy them to a Footage folder in the destination folder you choose. After Effects does not move the location of the source files even if you used them in multiple projects.👍

hello! so i have this problem where i have to long click the alt button to move around my clip with the playhead to see the clip moving but if i dont press the alt button the clip just freezes when i move my playhead, i got a message yesterday about live dragging or something like that and i think i might've accidentally pressed a button to either activate or deactivate, can u please help?

@MikeMurphyCo Жыл бұрын

I'd like to help you, but I do not understand the issue you are having. If you could provide more details or the exact steps you are taking or what the error message is, I will try to replicate the issue on my end help troubleshoot for you. 👍

@xdmacey6156 Жыл бұрын

@@MikeMurphyCo so i was editing and i think i accidentally pressed a button or 2 which i think enabled the error, if i'm pressing the alt button while moving my playhead the clip plays with it (if you understand) but if i only move the playhead without pressing the alt button it completely freezes until i'm done moving the playhead! (hopefully this one made more sense)

@MikeMurphyCo Жыл бұрын

@@xdmacey6156 Thanks for clarifying. I do not know why this is happening, but here are some things I might try: 1. Go to Edit Munu and select 'Purge' and then 'All Memory & Cache' and see if that clears it up 2. Save Project. Force-Quit After Effects Re-open AE and test it out. 3. Try creating a New Comp and drag some other footage in the Layers Panel and see if you get the same results or is it only with the original footage?

Pls after I have than that, when I opened the folder after effects say the work does not exist, kindly tell me why sir . Thanks

Can you please provide some more details about what exactly is happening and what is the error message? What steps did you do with the project an saving, etc. In order to help you troubleshoot, I need to learn more. 👍

What about the fonts used? they aren't collected!

@MikeMurphyCo 10 ай бұрын

It is likely due to Font Licensing, but the fonts used are generated in the .TXT text reports that are included when you 'Collect Files'. You can also choose to 'Generate Reports' only if you just want to share all of the assets/files and fonts used in a Comp. 👍

@Dannyk3979 10 ай бұрын

@@MikeMurphyCo thank you for the super-swift reply!! So we have to do it manually. I thought there’s an option to include the fonts like in InDesign. But I appreciate the tip 👍🏻

@Hellesis Жыл бұрын

What if "all" is grayed out?

@MikeMurphyCo Жыл бұрын

Do you have footage in the Project Panel? Have you saved the AE Project in a folder? If not, save the Project File and then go back and Collect Files.
