How to find missing files in After Effects?

3 min
Details (3 min read)

After Effects might show you a missing files error if you changed the footage folder or did not unzip the project before opening it. Follow these steps to resolve the problem. If you’re experiencing a missing file error with files imported from AEJuice Pack Manager, download a regular After Effects project from the account and try it instead.
Type “missing” or “missing footage” in the project window
