Aescripts – Layer Name Tag v1.1.0

Layer Name Tag is an After Effects script that fixes one of the most frustrating problems in modular design work: identifying pre-comp layers in a comp overview without opening each one.

If you’ve ever worked with toolkits, render setups, or modular animations, you know the issue. You have 20 to 30 pre-comp layers that all look identical in the viewport. The only way to tell them apart is to read their names in the timeline — slow, error-prone, and breaks your flow.

Layer Name Tag solves it in two clicks.

Layer Name Tag Features

• Auto Grid: arranges all your pre-comp layers in a clean, configurable grid layout (2/3/4 columns, 20/40/60/80px gutter)
• Add Labels: generates text overlays above each pre-comp, automatically pulling the layer name. Customize position, size, and color
• Always In Sync: labels stay connected to their source — rename a layer in the timeline or in the project panel, and the label updates live
