Change label color of precomp in project panel?
Hello everyone,
Is there a way to change the color of the label a precomp created from the timeline gets when it’s created? I know how to change label colors using the preference dialog, but that only covers compositions and no precompositions made afterwards.
Any ideas?

I don’t know about automatically, but you can right click on the swatch and change it’s color to whatever you want.

Thanks guys,
Dave,
Yeah, I know about markers in the timeline, in fact I use them a lot. But I’m looking for an option to set the color of the precomps in the project panel, not the layers in the timeline.
John,
That’s what I’ve been doing, but when you precompose as your project grows it starts to become a bit tedious and time consuming. I use blue to visually identify the main comps I have (the ones that are for rendering) and then I paint the other ones whatever color, most of the time green. When the newly created precomps are also labeled blue it throws me off when I need to quickly find a main comp in the project panel.
Best,

Think you are stuck to filling out the Feature Request form then. Something along the lines of “Precomps made within a composition” Label default. I don’t organize that way, but it is strange that it’s not there. Sorry I couldn’t be more help on this one.
