After Effects Script of the Week: pt EffectSearch

Huge problem solver offers 2 huge features when dealing with effects: search and instances

Note: this article is part of an ongoing series that features one After Effects script a week. For an overview on scripts, check out the debut post.

The problem: You are up against a deadline and working with a project from a freelancer. You open a project that was created on another system and boom! - too many third party plug-in effects are missing for After Effects even to tell you which ones, or where they are located. You face a long, tedious process of looking in every comp for every layer with applied effects, to attempt to locate the missing ones.

Or you can try pt EffectSearch. Not only can it return a list of all plug-ins of a certain type in your project - missing, third-party, built-in, on or off, within all comps, the open comp or a selection you make in the Project panel - it can take action on the result.
