How to use?
- Select the compositions you want to duplicate in the Timeline or Project panel
- Set the Number of Copies you want to create
- Configure the Find and Replace, Naming and Options settings
- Click Timeline Comp(s) if your selection is in the timeline, or Project Panel Comp(s) if your selection is in the project panel
Find and Replace
Applied to the names of the copies first, before Naming
- Find: The text to find in the names of the copies. It matches case. Leave it empty to switch this off
- Replace: What the found text becomes
- Rename layers too: Also finds and replaces in the layer names inside the copies. Their expressions follow the new names
Naming
Use these settings to define how the new compositions are named
- Add Prefix/Suffix: Adds custom text to the beginning (Prefix) or end (Suffix) of the duplicate's name
- Numbering: Adds numerical sequences to the names. Use Auto Increment for standard counting, or define a First or Last Character for custom sequencing
Options
- Update Expressions: Automatically updates expressions within the duplicated comps to point to the new duplicates instead of the originals
- Skip names starting: Nested comps whose name starts with this text are not copied. The copies keep using the originals, which suits shared logos and templates. Comps you select are always copied
- Folder: Where the copies go. "Same as Originals" puts each copy next to its original. "New Folder" makes one new folder per copy, next to the original top comp. "New, Keep Structure" also makes the originals' subfolders again inside it
- Number of Copies: How many copies to make
