Hello
I have to work multiples time with a After Effect template. On this template, I have to render multiple comps with each contain the same word. Is it a way to change all the Output name of all the compos in the Render Queue? (for example place a # on front of the rendering name) for example, to have pre-save the comp with #example_test.mov and be able to have the soft rename automatically to JANUARY_test.mov.
Hopefully I was clear, thank you in advance for your help!

Tokens in the Render Queue are what you should be looking at. More info here - https://medium.com/@justin.gundlock/use-ae-render-tokens-to-automatically-set-file-names-and-paths-a437f4749e79

Not sure if this helps, but I've created templates where a comp uses its name as input for text. So if I rename the comp to January, the text would show January, duplicating the comp 11 times and renaming the comps to the names, updates the texts accordingly and obviously when exporting the file would have the comp name.

Hello, Thank you for your help. It's true when you create a new Comp, and place it on the Render Queue. The default name will be the Comp name. But won't work in my case because, my Comps are all different and done once (I don't want to redone them).
