Client & Editor Handoff

The Problem
Your project is a disaster zone.
In the project panel, on your drive, and worst of all, the day you hand it to someone else.
🗂
Project Panel Chaos
200+ items dumped in the root. Sequences mixed with footage mixed with graphics. Finding anything takes forever and kills your creative flow.
✓ Organizer: One click sorts everything into your folder layout
📥
Footage Scattered Across Your Drive
You import from Downloads, the desktop, a card dump. The edit looks organized, but the actual files live everywhere except your project folder.
✓ Organizer: Watch folders copy new imports into your project folder, filed to match your bins
📦
Handoffs That Dump Everything in One Folder
Premiere's Project Manager can copy a project, but it piles every file into a single flat folder. Your careful bin structure? Gone on arrival.
✓ Organizer: Collect & Organize copies media into real folders that mirror your bins
Features
Clean projects. Zero manual work.
Sort, watch, and collect. In After Effects and Premiere Pro, from one install.
Sort by Type
One click files your entire project panel into folders: sequences, comps, video, audio, images, graphics, captions. Works the same in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Folder Layout Presets
Ship with the Filmit layout or design your own in the Layout editor. "Split by type" auto-creates per-format bins (Video/R3D, Video/MP4) only for the formats you actually have.
Watch Folders
Import from Downloads (or anywhere outside your project) and Organizer copies or moves the file into your project folder on disk, filed to mirror your bins, and relinks it automatically.
Auto-Sort New Imports
Every new item gets filed into your active layout as you work. Had the panel closed? Catch Up Now applies your watch and sort settings to everything in one click.
Collect & Organize
Export your whole project, or just selected sequences or comps, to a new location: media copied into real folders that mirror your bins, and the project copy relinked to match.
Plugin-Aware & Safe
Sorting respects RoughCut segments, JumpCut cuts, and nested sequences, and never touches other tools' working bins. Batch rename with patterns and find-replace in After Effects.
After Effects vs Premiere Pro
One plugin. Two flavors.
The core workflow is identical in both apps. After Effects digs deeper into layer tooling, Premiere Pro gets plugin-aware sorting. Both are awesome.

Deep Dive
See how it works.
Watch Organizer transform messy projects into clean workspaces.
Auto-Sort
Items fly into categorized folders.
Organizer scans every item in your project, identifies its type, and files it per your layout preset. Sequences to Sequences, footage to Video, music to Audio, in After Effects and Premiere Pro alike.
- Detects sequences, comps, video, audio, images, graphics, captions
- Split by type creates per-format bins: Video/R3D, Video/MP4, Camera RAW
- Respects RoughCut segments, JumpCut cuts, and nested sequences
- Preserves all references, fully reversible

Watch Folders
Every import lands where it belongs.
Import a file from Downloads, the desktop, anywhere, and Organizer moves or copies it into your project folder on disk, drops it in subfolders that mirror your bin layout, and relinks the project automatically. Your drive finally matches your edit.
- Copy (default, original stays put) or move
- Watch Downloads only, or anywhere outside the project folder
- Disk folders mirror your bin layout exactly
- Catch Up Now files everything from sessions with the panel closed

Collect & Organize
Export projects with your bins intact.
Premiere's Project Manager copies a project by dumping every file into one flat folder. Collect & Organize copies your media into real disk folders that mirror your bin structure, then relinks the project copy to match. Your original project is never touched.
- Bins become real folders on disk
- Entire project, or just selected sequences (Premiere) and comps (AE)
- Project copy relinked automatically, original untouched
- Offline media reported, duplicate names resolved

FAQ
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Organizer.
Yes. One install covers After Effects and Premiere Pro. Sorting, folder layouts, watch folders, auto-sort, and Collect & Organize all work in both apps. Batch rename is After Effects only for now.
Project Manager copies your media into one flat folder, so the exported project loses your bin structure on disk. Collect & Organize mirrors your bins as real folders, copies each file into the right one, and relinks the project copy to match. Your original project stays untouched.
Into your project folder, in subfolders that mirror your bin layout. You choose copy (default, the original stays where it was) or move, and whether to watch just Downloads or anywhere outside the project folder.
No. Organizer knows about RoughCut segments, JumpCut cuts, and nested sequences, sorts them into their own homes, and never reorganizes inside other tools' working bins.
Yes. In After Effects every action registers as a single undo group, so Ctrl+Z restores your structure instantly. Sorting only moves items between bins, and nothing is ever deleted without confirmation.
Yes. Organizer is included with your Filmit Studio subscription at $20/month, along with every other Filmit tool, effect, and asset. No extra cost.
