How to Use Quick Namer

Basic Renaming

  1. Select one or more layersin the order you want to rename them
  2. Enter a new name in the Name field
  3. Click Rename Selected

Find & Replace

  1. Select layers or properties
  2. Enter the text you want to find in the Find field
  3. Enter the replacement text in the Replace field
  4. Enable Match case for case-sensitive matching
  5. Click Rename Selected

Adding Prefixes & Suffixes

  • Prefix: Adds text before the name (e.g., "BG_" becomes "BG_LayerName")
  • Suffix: Adds text after the name (e.g., "_v1" becomes "LayerName_v1")

Sequential Numbering

  1. Enable Sequence
  2. Choose your format:
    • Numbers: 01, 02, 03...
    • Uppercase letters: A, B, C...
    • Lowercase letters: a, b, c...
  3. Set Start to choose where numbering begins
  4. Set Digits for zero-padding (2 digits = 01, 3 digits = 001)
  5. Set Separator for the character between name and number (e.g., "_" becomes "Layer_01")

Note

  • Quick Namer works on layer properties, groups, and effects, but, due to an After Effects limitation, will always sequence from the top down.
