Simple quality of life After Effects script to rename all adjustment layers to the applied effects in a button-press.

Better Adjustment Layers

A simple after effects script to rename all adjustment layers in a composition to the applied effects with a click of a button

Version Manual - Press a button and rename all layers

Version Auto - No long override renamed adjustment layers (i.e. rename an adjustment layer "Color Correction" and name will not be changed") VERSION Auto HAS ISSUES WHEN GOING IN AND OUT OF PRECOMPS.

To add

• Select which layer types you want renamed (i.e. solids, shape layers, etc.)
• When ae dialog opens dont effect script
• Going in and out of precomps no longer stops renaming process
• Autofill when searching
• Searching verbatim, (full effect name, not indexOf)

How to install

Go to your after effects install > Support Files > Scripts > ScriptUI Panels > Put script in that folder. i.e. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels

You can also add to the startup folder for it to automatically run upon ae opening i.e. F:\AdobeInstalls\Adobe After Effects 2024\Support Files\Scripts\Startup
