    Not too sure if I can describe my question clearly enough…but I’ll try.

    What I want is to have some expressions on a text layer,and to make it print all the layers’ names below it by playing order.

    So here’s my comp, from layer 2 to layer 19 they are all short vids and they are playing one by one, I’d like to display the layer’s names dynamically.

    Any help or hint is great appreciated!

    If you want the name of the video that is currently visible, this example from my site should help:
