About QuickImporter

QuickImporter adds a dedicated import dialog to After Effects, Premiere Pro and Audition. It uses a super‑fast fuzzy keyword search that can locate files even with misspelled terms, and it offers in‑dialog previews: hovering over a file plays audio, and video files open in a media player. On macOS, thumbnails are generated for most file types through the Quicklook system; on Windows they appear only for JPG and PNG files. Image sequences are presented as a single result instead of many individual files. A single license applies to all three host applications. Limitations include Windows thumbnail support limited to JPG/PNG, no audio preview for AIFF files, and image‑sequence import unavailable in Premiere Pro versions older than CC 2015.4. The plugin is listed as free, but licensing details should be confirmed on the developer’s page.
