Now that After Effects CC (12.2) has been out for a little while with a fix for this... How is the new version working for you? Does the new behavior in After Effects CC (12.2) meet your needs? http://adobe.ly/AE_CC_12dot2_details “Layer names are not forced to be unique. When using the
Copy With Property Links command or using the expression pick whip, layer names are still made to be unique.” From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv]
On Behalf Of Mathias Möhl Ok, thank you all for the quick help. In the long term, it would be great to have something like: - by default new/duplicated layers get a unique name - if you manually rename them to the original name, a confirm message (with an "don't show this again") informs you about what side effects this will have.

thats new in 12.1 i believe. i find it a big pain in my workflow as well and i dont believe there is a way to disable it 12.1 added "copy with property links" so now when use that feature it makes sure that there arent two layers with the same name On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 12:53 PM, Mathias Möhl <info@mamoworld.com> wrote: Hi everyone, I just tried to create two layers with the same name (say "Test") but AE disallows it and automatically renames the second one "Test 2". Even if I try to explicitly rename it to "Test" again. Why is this and is there any way to avoid this behavior? With CS6 it works fine. I did some scripts for a client that need some layers have the same name. cheers, Mathias mamoworld.com dr. mathias möhl
