Creating layers with sequential numbers
Is there an expression out there that could create a new layer with the number “1”, create a new layer with “2” etc…up to 350? I need to generate these numbers for use in Photoshop eventually so I would save as a PSD, but I cannot figure out how to do it in PS. I’m using CS3, by the way. Thanks!

With an expression, you could just create a text layer, add this expression to the source text:
index
And duplicate the layer 349 times.
Or, create a comp and run a script like this:
var n = 350; // number of layers to create
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myTextLayer;for (var i = 350; i > 0; i–){
myTextLayer = myComp.layers.addText(i);

Dan could you help me with a script that does the duplication of the selected Comp in your projects panel.
I need to duplicate a comp 300+ times and have a comp “1”. I need comp “2”, “3”, “4” etc all the way to 300+ but am struggling to get the correct statements to get it done in the same way you wrote the Layers script above. -
Like this:
{
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myNewComp;
for (var i = 1; i <= 300; i++){
myNewComp = myComp.duplicate();
myNewComp.name = "" + (i+1);
}
}
