Duplicate & Rename

Speed up your After Effects workflow with a single, clean panel for duplicating layers, batch renaming, label colors, XYZ position offsets, and horizontal or vertical flips.

After Effects CC 2020+

Quick Overview

Define a search term and a replacement term for instant batch rename while duplicating layers. Keep the parent null on keyframed layers and optionally auto close the panel when done.

Flip Layers

Duplicate and mirror layers in one go. Create quick symmetry or alternate compositions without manual transforms.

Offset Position

If duplicated layers stack up, apply a controlled XYZ offset via a parent null to lay them out exactly where you need.

Smart Renaming

Apply consistent naming patterns with simple search and replace.

Label Colors

Keep projects readable with quick, meaningful color coding.

Parent Safety

Preserve parent null on animated layers to avoid breaking rigs.

Compatibility: Works with After Effects CC 2020 and later. The page and UI adapt to light and dark themes using tokens.
