After Effects renaming

[eoino66310942]

Hi there

I updated after effects and I'm having trouble renaming the effects controls, such as the "Slider Control"(normal I would rename it for example "scale offset" etc) which effect the expressions that I type down below in the timeline.

In the past I was able to just click on the effect controls name and rename, this there a new way of doing it? Pic down below.

Kind Regards

Eoin

As far as I remember it never worked by clicking on effect name. It was and is by selecting effect and pressing Enter on keyboard.

You can't rename property controls, you can rename any effect. Select the effect, not the property. Press Enter, type in the new name, and your expressions will update. It does not work any other way.
