    Labels
    Nothing you couldn’t have done the hard way

    Labels is After Effects script that takes full control over Label Colors - set label
    colors and select label groups with a single button click. Works both for composi-
    tion and project panel items.

    Themes brings power to After Effects to switch Label Colors at any time without the
    need to restart application. Try different Labels colors, assignments, and save them
    to file to share with the team. Additionally, download Themes and custom script
    Snippets from aescripts.com to give your timeline a facelift.

    Installation
    1. Unpack the archive you have downloaded and copy/paste files (both “Labels.jsx”
    and “Labels Help.pdf”) to “ScriptUI Panels” folder:
    - Windows: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects <version>\Support
    Files\Scripts
    - Mac OS: Applications/Adobe After Effects <version>/Scripts

    If folder ScriptUI Panels does not exist, create a folder and name it “ScriptUI
    Panels”. Then paste the copied files into it.

    2. Allow script to access network to avoid unnecessary problems while loading


    GUI. This option is under General tab of After Effects Preference pane:
    - Windows: Edit > Preferences > General
    - Mac: After Effects > Preferences > General

    Once installation is finished run the script by clicking Window > Labels

    Reset (X) sets layers / items default label color.

    board combination.

    Use modifiers keys (shift, cmd, alt) or keyboard key name (q, w, e, r, t, y etc) to set key-
    board shortcut. To mix shortcuts with both modifiers and key name, always use “+” as
    a separator: “shift + cmd + e”, “alt + e”. Character cases and spaces between “+” are
    ignored: “SHIFT+E” is totally fine.

    You can combine modifier keys together, however, only one key name is allowed: i.e.
    “shift + e + r” or “shift + cmd + e + r” will not work.

    Custom Labels Shortcuts

    Script Name: Key Path to Script:


    Copy Color To Clipboard c ../../../pathToScript.jsx
    Create Shape Layer 1 ../../../pathToScript.jsx
    Create Solid Layer 2 ../../../pathToScript.jsx
    Group Layers g ../../../pathToScript.jsx
    Push Layers Back By One q ../../../pathToScript.jsx
    Push Layers UpBy One w ../../../pathToScript.jsx

    Similar to KBar or FT-Toolbar Labels 3 can be used as a simple script launcher. Simply
    assign custom keyboard key and a path to the script and click on swatch to execute the
    script.

    This option opens a gateway to extend Labels functionality and build upon what’s
    already implemented in the script.

    Labels script exposes following API:


    index (Number) label index,
    hex (String) label HEX color,
    rgb (Array) label RGB color [0-255, 0-255, 0-255],
    name (String) label name

    Please investigate default script snippets that ship with Labels 3 to learn how to harvest
    this data and build your own extensions.
