Share or Reuse After Effects Project Files

Learn how to package all, or part, of an After Effects project so that you can share it with someone else, or reuse it inside another After Effects project.

1:43 - Collect Files

When you import anything into After Effects, it creates a link to that file, wherever it’s saved. If you want to share your After Effects project with someone, you can’t just share the .aep file. You need to share all the files that go along with it. Learn how to ask After Effects to “collect files” and package everything you’ve imported so you can share the project with someone else.

3:00 - Collect Selected Comps

You can’t open multiple After Effects projects at once. So if you want to combine After Effects projects or reuse a composition (or a few) in a different After Effects project, you’ll need to collect those comps and all their linked files into a neat little package to import into another project. Or, you could do this to share only part of an After Effects project with someone else.

4:37 - Import an AEP into Another Project

To reuse the animation in a comp, a few comps, or an entire AE project, you can import an After Effects project file into another After Effects project.
