Sort Project
Your project panel is a disaster zone.
Every editor knows the dread of opening a project with 200+ items dumped in the root.
🗂

Project Panel Chaos

200+ items dumped in the root. Comps mixed with footage mixed with solids. Finding anything takes forever and kills your creative flow.

✓ Organizer: One click sorts everything into typed folders
🗑

Unused Asset Bloat

Old footage, abandoned comps, and test solids all cluttering the project. No easy way to find what's actually used and what's dead weight.

✓ Organizer: Scans and flags every unused item instantly
📄

Inconsistent Naming

"Final_v2_FINAL_use-this.aep" mixed with "shot_001" and "Untitled 47". Nothing makes sense. Handoff to another editor is embarrassing.

✓ Organizer: Batch rename with patterns, prefixes, and find-replace
Clean projects. Zero manual work.
Sort, label, clean, rename, and report. All automated.
📁
