Renaming 1.0 Free

Renaming 1.0 is a handy panel for quickly renaming layers, project items, and effects in After Effects, with automatic numbering and wildcard find & replace.

✏️ Rename layers, items & effects with one click, using Prefix / Name / Suffix fields to build the new name exactly how you want it.
🔢 Auto-numbering with a choice of number position (start, after prefix, after name, or end), a custom starting value, and leading zeros.
🔍 Wildcard find & replace using * — swap out part of a name while keeping the rest, no regex required.
🎯 Flexible scope options — apply to selected layers/items, the whole active comp, selected compositions, or the entire project.
🔗 Auto-fixes expressions after renaming, so layer and effect references in expressions never break.
👀 Live preview of the new name right in the panel before you apply anything.
⚡ Clean, compact UI that stays out of your way.

This script makes organizing your project and cleaning up layer names dramatically faster, especially on projects with tons of elements.
