Why we like it

MassRename earns its spot in the aescripts library for a focused renaming workflow: pattern, preview, done, now extended to After Effects in version 0.0.3.

What is MassRename?

MassRename is a batch renaming tool for Premiere Pro and After Effects, built by vogeledits. Select the clips you want to rename, enter a pattern, and see exactly what every name will become before committing. When the preview matches what you want, rename the whole selection in a single click.

After Effects support arrived in version 0.0.3. In After Effects, MassRename renames both project items and composition layers. It supports After Effects 2020 through 2026 and Premiere Pro 2020 through 2026, covering current and older installs of both applications.

Licensing is a one-time purchase with no subscription. This entry is listed as free in our catalog, so check the developer's page for current terms. A demo video is available for a closer look at the panel.

Who is MassRename best for?

MassRename is best for editors and motion designers who need to rename many clips, project items, or composition layers at once in Premiere Pro or After Effects.

How much does MassRename cost?

MassRename is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does MassRename work with Premiere Pro 2024 and After Effects 2024?

MassRename supports Premiere Pro 2020 through 2026, which includes the 2024 release. On the After Effects side it covers 2020 through 2026 as well. If you're running an older or newer version within those ranges, the panel is built to fit both current and legacy installs of each application. For the exact build and any host-specific notes, check the developer's page before installing.

Can MassRename rename composition layers in After Effects?

MassRename renames both project items and composition layers in After Effects. This After Effects support arrived in version 0.0.3, extending the panel beyond Premiere Pro. You select the items, enter a pattern, preview the results, and rename everything in one click, the same workflow used for clips in Premiere Pro. For the full scope of what's covered, the developer's page and the demo video are good references.

Is MassRename a subscription or a one-time purchase?

MassRename is sold as a one-time purchase with no subscription, according to the developer's description. In our catalog this entry is listed as free, so licensing terms shown here may differ from the developer's current offer. Before you rely on any particular pricing or license type, check the developer's page for the up-to-date terms. What stays consistent is that it's offered as a one-time purchase rather than a recurring plan.

What does the live preview in MassRename show?

MassRename shows a live preview of what every name will become before you commit. You select clips, enter a pattern, and the preview reflects the resulting names across the selection. When it matches what you want, a single click renames everything. This preview-first approach applies in both Premiere Pro and After Effects. A demo video is available if you'd like to see the panel first.
