  • Renaming multiple comps

    Posted by Richard Lyons on October 17, 2011 at 6:41 pm

    Hi,

    Have a AE project with around 30 comps as follows :

    A1_PARTA
    A1_MASTER
    A1_LAYOUT
    A1_PART2 etc

    I need to duplicate the project and then go in and edit the prefixes to another letter such as :

    B1_PARTA
    B1_MASTER
    B1_LAYOUT
    B1_PART2 etc

    Is there a way in AE to do a batch rename for “A1” to be replaced with “B1” without having to manually edit all the names every time?

    Many thanks in advance…

    See Project_Items_Renamer.jsx or Selected_Comps_Changer.jsx on Christopher Green’s scripts site [link].

    All of Chris’s scripts are brilliant time savers, and if you find them useful, you should consider sending him a little compensation via his Donate button.
