select all the layers with the same name

[Dan Ebberts]

Try this:


var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){
myComp.layer(i).selected = (myComp.layer(i).name == "Blackmagic Production Camera 4K");
}

Hi.

Hope it’s okay to add one more question here. Ist there a way to use this script to select layers that have the partly the same name? Let’s say I’ve got this layers:

rendering_1
Video
rendering_2
rendering_blue
Picture

How can I select all the layers that share the ‘rendering’ part in their name by using a script like yours?

Thank you.

You could do something like this:


var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){
myComp.layer(i).selected = (myComp.layer(i).name.indexOf("rendering") > -1);
}
