Hi. I really need a script that copies selected comps names into clipboard. I could also work with one that copies the names of layers in a composition as well. I found one online that is supposed to copy an active layer name but it doesn't work.

I just created an Automation Blocks script for you. Unfortunately, AB does not support the clipboard, yet, but instead I wrote a tool, which copies the names of all selected comps to a text file on your Desktop. Then you can copy & paste the names from there with a text editor.

 

This is what the script looks like:

You can download the tool here (I saved it in our community library ) and open it also with the trial version of Automation Blocks, if you want.
