Press the Tilda key (~) to expand the Project Panel. If the File Path does not show as one of the columns, click on the Project Panel menu, the three little lines to the left of Project, and open the Columns menu to select the columns you want to display.

In my case, the files were located in the shared libraries. I copied all the linked files in the hidden librabries into a new folder (basically, moved them out of the shared libraries) and then went to AE to replace the footage. If you place everything in one folder, AE will detect and restore the files all at once, without needing to replace them one by one.

 

Hope this helps.

double click on one missing file and AE will open a dialog to find it. once found, AE will look for matching file names in the same relative path. in most cases, all files are found with a couple of clicks.

Thanks but isn't that just to replace the link? I'm more looking to see the original file path
