Privacy Policy
aep QuickView generator is a macOS app that generates Finder thumbnails and Quick Look previews for Adobe After Effects projects (.aep, .aet, .aepx).
- The app and its extensions work entirely on your Mac and never connect to the internet.
- Files are only processed locally to provide previews or prepare attachments. Nothing is uploaded or copied elsewhere by the app.
- The app contains no analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party code that collects data.
- No account or registration is required to use the app.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
Support
Questions, problems, or suggestions? Write to support@robiapps.com. Please include your macOS and After Effects versions, and describe the project.
If you email us, we use your email address to reply to your inquiry. We do not sell or share it for marketing.
Tip: Only to generate previews. Previews already stored in your projects show up on any Mac with aep QuickView generator installed, even without After Effects.
Why did a preview disappear after I saved the project? After Effects writes a new file each time you save, which removes the stored preview. Click Generate missing again to create a fresh one.
Does it change my projects? No. The preview is stored in the file’s extended attributes and the project content stays untouched. Only the modification date moves by one second, so Finder refreshes the icon.
Can I choose which composition is shown? Yes. Put “thumb” in a composition’s name or add a marker with the comment “thumb”. Otherwise the app uses the first composition in the Render Queue or the main composition.
