   WOW. really well done. When I first read the description, I thought tagging may be overkill, but the movie shows how incredibly useful this is. Can’t wait to play with it in a gnarly comp.

   Thanks again!

   This is fantastic. It’s a function that you’d think should have been built into AE a long time ago. Thank you for your generosity.

    Awesome! Will be downloading.

    One thing… can you refer to the tags through expressions? That would be very powerful indeed. (Sorry if I sound greedy!)

13. lloyd said on September 16th, 2008 at 9:25 am

    I don’t think you can access the comments field through expressions, but you can access the layers markers. So as long as you mirror the tags on a layer marker you could access the tags through expressions.

    THANK YOU!
    I’ve been waiting over a decade (in vain) for Adobe to implement some sort of “Folder” solution - your Zorro is far more brilliant!
    Cheers!

    This is a great one! I can see me using it a lot in the future.
    It just gives me a warm feeling that there are people out there like you who do this out of pure generosity, thus making our (mograph) world a better place.

    You definitely deserve a LOT of beers for this one!

    WOW, IT’S VERY AWSOME SCRIPT…

    BUT IT CAN’T WORK IN MY COMPUTER.

    I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS UNICODE…

    MY WINDOW IS KOREAN LANGUAGE…

    Hi Spencer,

    The new version now uses the asterisk instead of the bullet as a tag prefix, please download the new version and let me know how it works for you.

    THIS IS SO GREAT! THANK YOU!!!

23. Sirsilent said on November 20th, 2008 at 10:03 pm

    The only problem is that the script only looks for tags in the active comp. If I have tags in precomps it ignores them. Is there a way to make the script work global with all precomps?
