PeaceKeeper for After Effects:
Automatic layer naming and project organisation.

Saves you time by turning any messy and chaotic After Effects file into a neatly ordered dream. No more scrolling through 1000 unnamed layers to find out where that expression is...

About the script:

Since time began there have been two types of motion designer: those who name their layers and those who are wrong. A constant battle between order and chaos.

But we say NO MORE! With PeaceKeeper comes unity and peace for motion designers everywhere.

With one-click you can now organise your entire project. With another click every layer of every composition is analyzed and renamed to highlight what's going on and where:

  • ✅ Compositions are renamed to include the types of layers within them.
  • ✅ Shape layers are renamed based on their contents.
  • ✅ Adjustment layers are renamed based on their effects.
  • ✅ Matte layers are recoloured and labeled.
  • ✅ Control Nulls are renamed, recoloured, and trimmed to their keyframes.
  • ✅ Expressions and layer effects are highlighted.

PLUS: There's a manual rename panel that makes manually renaming layers an absolute breeze.

Peace between motion designers is here.

Big thanks to the HyperBrew team for creating BOLT, PeaceKeeper wouldn't be possible without it.

How PeaceKeeper saves you time:

Organise the project panel in one click.
At the touch of a button PeaceKeeper runs through your entire project panel and sorts items into relevant folders for you. Precomps are sorted by complexity, files are organised by type, and the solid folder... well that's just swept under the rug.

No more messy project panels, just hit the button and everything will be sorted for you.

No more "Shape Layer 2567" Layers
With the Clean Comps button, every layer within every composition is analyzed and renamed to provide more useful context:

  • ✅ Compositions are renamed to include the types of layers within them.
  • ✅ Shape layers are renamed based on their contents.
  • ✅ Adjustment layers are renamed based on their effects.
  • ✅ Matte layers are recoloured and labeled.
  • ✅ Control Nulls are renamed, recoloured, and trimmed to their keyframes.
  • ✅ Expressions and layer effects are highlighted.

All of which gives you a clearer picture as to what's going on where in your compositions.

Manually rename layers without hitting enter.
The Manual Rename panel within PeaceKeeper turns all your layers into editable text boxes. This means you can simply rename a layer and hit TAB to move onto the next one. No more needing to select each layer, hit enter, rename, and repeat.

The really important bit:

Before you install any of the Loop scripts you have to enable the "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network" setting.

Frequently Asked Questions about the licence

Where is my licence key?

Your licence key is sent to you via email. It is also available via the script's product page in your Lemon Squeezy Orders.

Why do I keep being asked to provide my licence key?

Each licence allows you to use the script on a set number of workstations. For example: the solo licence allows you to use the script on two workstations at a time.

If you or someone else tries to use the script on a third computer then the first person who registered the script will be logged out and you will need to provide the key again.

If you need access to the script from more than two workstations either purchase another individual licence, or subscribe to a team licence.

My licence key isn't working

Please try all of the following before sending an email:

  1. Make sure you're inputting the full and exact licence key without any extra spaces at the start or end.
  2. Please check you are actively connected to the internet.
  3. Try temporarily disabling any firewalls or anti-virus software. Remember to re-enable them afterwards.
  4. If you're still having trouble please email: [email protected]
