After Effects asset library

Save reusable project parts and bring them back fast.

Motion Workbench packages selected comps or folders into a local library, creates thumbnails and previews, lets you browse assets visually, and imports selected packages into the current After Effects project.

Library system

Organize reusable work without collecting an entire project.

Package selected work

Add only the selected comp or folder and the media it needs, instead of copying the entire After Effects project.

Preview before import

Browse thumbnails and previews so you can recognize a packshot, overlay, intro, subtitle style, or reusable precomp before importing it.

Cleanup helpers

Find duplicate footage candidates, reveal items in the Project panel, relink selected duplicates to a master, and organize imported items by file type.

Use cases

Useful for teams that reuse visual systems.

  1. Save packshots, overlays, lower thirds, title builds, end cards, and reusable precomp systems.
  2. Keep libraries on an external disk, synced folder, or shared production drive.
  3. Import packages into a new project without hunting through old project files.
  4. Use cleanup tools when merged projects contain duplicate media.
