change comp names automatically

[Ram Manohar]

Hi there…
I made a script to do your task, but it will not do the task in a single click.The script will ask the user to run script again until all the specified names are changed..

It is because AE automatically sorts the Project items when the name is changed.

I hope it will help you…

Click here to download the script..

I cant get it to work.

No window appears nor will it run from run script.

i am using CS3 .

Any ideas ?

[Ram Manohar]

If you paste the “Compsitions Renamer.jsx“,file correctly in
” C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS3\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels ” Folder. Then you can get the Script’s UserInterface from Window menu.
i.e. Click on Window menu from After Effects menu bar. Then try to Find Compsitions Renamer.jsx in that menu.. and click on it.

If you still hav any problem loading the script..,then go to …
Edit->Preferences->General, in that make sure that.,
“Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network” is checked.

yes it will work on CS3, even I am using CS3
then try it.. i hope you will get it now..
