Organise

Overview

HelixAE can automatically organise items in your AE Project panel into a clean folder structure. This is useful when footage has been imported manually or things have gotten messy.

How to Organise

  1. In the Footage Tracker, right-click any folder (3D Renders, 2D Renders, Resources, Comps, or External)
  2. Select Organise...
  3. A preview dialog will appear showing the before/after folder structure
  4. Click Confirm to apply, or Cancel to abort

You can also right-click multiple folders at once and choose Organise All [N] Folders... to organise them in one step.

Auto-Categorize Resources

For the Resources folder specifically, there's an additional option:

  • Right-click the Resources folder → Auto-Categorize

This automatically sorts loose resource items into subfolders based on their type (images, video, audio, etc.).

Validate Naming Convention

For 3D Renders and 2D Renders folders, you can right-click and choose Validate Naming Convention to check that all items follow the expected naming structure. Any inconsistencies will be reported.
