About Network Clipboard 2

Network Clipboard 2 is a copy‑and‑paste utility for After Effects that transfers comps, layers, nodes and scenes between applications over a shared network. It removes the need to save reduced projects for team sharing; you copy in one program and paste in another. The plugin supports After Effects (2025‑2020, CC 2019‑2017) and integrates with Cinema 4D (2025‑2022, S26‑R19), Houdini (21‑17) and Maya (2023‑2018). Features include FBX import/export on the After Effects side, the ability to paste into a project or directly into the active comp, unlimited copy‑history storage, environment‑variable‑defined clipboard directories, username overrides, and floating‑license capability. Developed by Matt Tillman and listed in the aescripts library, it targets teams and individual artists who need seamless cross‑application asset exchange.
