rd: Composition Renamer
download: rd_CompRenamer_v2.0.zip
This script displays a palette with controls for renaming the selected compositions in the Project panel. You can use this script to, for example, remove the “ Comp #” suffix (or localized equivalent in German and French versions of After Effects) added to new compositions whose footage was dragged to the New Composition button.
Notes: Composition names have a maximum length of 31 characters. Also, expressions that refer to the existing composition names are not updated, so it's best to use this script after creating a composition.
Note: This version of the script requires After Effects CS3 or later. It can be used as a dockable panel by placing the script in a ScriptUI Panels subfolder of the Scripts folder, and then choosing this script from the Window menu.
