Automatically name file after AE project.

Whenever I encode a File it automatically names the file after the composition. Is there a way to change it so that it instead takes on the name of the AE project?

Yup! You can use Render Tokens for this. I wouldn't recommend naming your render exactly the same thing as the project since multiple renders will take on the same name plus a number, but you can definitely choose the project name in addition to a bunch of other tokens for automatic, custom naming: https://medium.com/@justin.gundlock/use-ae-render-tokens-to-automatically-set-file-names-and-paths-a437f4749e79
