Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of an extension that could rename layers on the main time line based on the movie clip names that are found on the time line. I have a client file that is absolutely huge but all the layers are just named Layer followed by random numbers.:td:

I have seen extensions that clean up the library but never one that cleans layer names.
