Label Maker earns its place in the aescripts library for a focused job: it reads the pixels of selected layers and colours their labels to match, and its universal binary runs natively on Apple Silicon. The 1.0.2 release also cleared up handling of layers outside composition bounds and camera or light layer selections.
Label Maker is an After Effects plugin from Plugin Everything that analyses the pixels of your selected layers and automatically sets each layer's label colour to match. It runs on whichever layers you select in your composition.
The plugin covers a broad span of After Effects releases, from CC 2014 through the 2025 version, including the CC 2015, CC 2015.3, 2017, 2018 and 2019 builds along with the annual 2020 to 2024 releases. Version 1.0.1 added a universal binary for native Apple Silicon (M1+) support, and version 1.0.2 fixed bugs affecting layers outside composition bounds and camera or light layer selections.
First released in 2019, Label Maker is listed here as free, and a demo video is available. For the current version, full changelog and licensing details, head to the developer's page on aescripts.
Label Maker is best for after Effects users who want layer label colours generated automatically from the content of their selected layers.
Label Maker is completely free to download and use.

Label Maker ships as a universal binary, and native Apple Silicon (M1+) support was added in version 1.0.1. On newer Apple Silicon Macs it can run natively. Version 1.0.2 later addressed bugs affecting layers outside composition bounds and camera or light layer selections. For the current build and any platform details, the developer's page on aescripts is the best reference.
Label Maker, from Plugin Everything, is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page on aescripts is the best place to confirm current pricing and any usage conditions before you download.

Label Maker has a demo video available, which you can reach through the developer's page on aescripts. Beyond that, the plugin's function is straightforward: it analyses the pixels of your selected layers and sets each layer's label colour to match.
