This is truly awesome. Way more efficient and usable than the layer group method used in others scripts imo.

I you ever plan to make an update please consider making the UI more compact (Rift is a good example) and the tab title shorter (like "Zorro" instead of "Zorro-The Layer Tagger"), it really is the only downside I think.

Lloyd Alvarez

You can rename the file to make the title shorter.

Since upgrade to CC I receive an error with Zorro:

Unable to execute script at line 334, After Effects error: The section name and key (Label Preference Text Section 5, label text ID 2 # 1) could not be found in the preferences

Lloyd Alvarez

Thanks for reporting this issue with CC. We will fix it and post a new version soon.

Kevin Lawrence

Thank You, love the tools....

BS Lau

Hello,
the same here, at line 337 !
Hope you'll update soon ! Thank you !!

Lloyd Alvarez

New version 1.6 posted.  Now works with After Effects CC. To upgrade please refer to this faq: How to upgrade "Name Your Own Price" products

BS Lau

Nice update cool !
Thank you

David Mattock

Hi can I ask if the update from 1.55 to 1.6  just adds CC compatibility or does it add other features/ improvments?
I use CS6 still so don't need CC compatibility but if there were any other improvements I'd definitely upgrade, many thanks

It just adds CC compatibility. You can see the full version history for all products under the VERSION HISTORY tab.

Looks like a really excellent script - thanks Lloyd!

Rob Frese

Great script -- use it every day.

Question about a problem I've been having -- just upgraded from CC 12.2 to CC 2014 and now when I run Zorro the screen freezes and it takes about 10-30 seconds to process. Before this happened instantly with zero processing time. I've tried trashing prefs and this didn't help. Any idea what's causing this slow down?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hard to say without knowing more details.  I just tested it in 2014 and it worked fine for me. Can you try it on a new project to see if it's project related? You can also open a support ticket and submit a screencast showing the problem so we can see what you are seeing.

Hi Lloyd,

I'm having a problem running Zorro 1.6 in AE CS 2014 german only. The Message is:  

    The script could not be executed in line 342. After Effecs Error: 

    Could not convert Unicode-Sign.

Zorro works in AE CC german/english and also in AE CC 2014 english.  

If you like send me a test version to sort out that bug.  

Cheers

Fabian  

P.S. Version 1.5 produces some kind of preferneces error in CC 2014

This is an After Effects bug.  Please report it to Adobe here: http://adobe.com/go/wish

Alright. Thanks.

No please report it to Adobe. The more users they hear from the more likely it is that they will fix it.

With new AE CC 2014.1 release, the "Isolate in Comp (Solo)" doesn't seem to have any effect - unless I'm doing something wrong!

Hi Lloyd, I don't know if you are aware of this but the script can not be launched with AE CC 2015 french version.
I don't know wether this is an AE issue or a scripting one.

Hi Lloyd

I'm trying to use Zorro in OS X 10.10.5, AE 13.6.1.6 and get this error "Unable to execute script at line 337. AE errpr: The section name and key(label Preference Text Section 5. Label Text ID #1) could not be found in the preferences.

Greg Neumayer

I need to be able to tag and isolate multiple tucked-away layers. 

Any way to get this to drill down into sub-comps?

Not in the current version.

Hello Lloyd, I am using AE 14.0.0.207 (AE CC 2017 - german version) and have a similar problem like 2014 - the script doesn't work in line 342

Zorro doesn't work anymore. I like it very much. Best C

Hi Loyd,

I just bought Zorro the Layer Tagger, but I have the very same problem in AE 2017.1 (Version 14.1.0.57) in the German Version.

I gonna open a support ticket, any other help so far? 

Best,

Hey Lloyd, I'm afraid I am having the same problem as a few people here. I've just bought Zorro and when running it I get...

"Unable to execute script at line 337. After Effects error: The section name and key (Label Preference Text Section 5, Label Text ID 2 # 1) could not be found in the preferences."

I am running After Effects 2015.3

version 13.8.1.38

I absolutely love this plug in (and I think it's the second time I've bought it!) but if it doesn't work then is there a way to get a refund?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Please try opening the After Effects Labels prefs and then restarting AE.

Make sure you don't have any non-english characters in your Label color names.  Open the Labels prefs and change any names to english only characters. For example, rename Grün to Green, etc.

Carl Barks

Thanks a lot, that works!!!!

Harlem Harl

Hi, Lloyd,

I have problems with the script again.

This may be related to the fact that it is not compatible with After Effects 2018?

Until now I used to use the method of removing French unicode characters and everything worked perfectly.

Recently the error on line 342 has recently returned and I can't fix the problem.

I don't see where to intervene because I already modified all the names in the labels part to have something resembling the English characters.

Any idea to fix it?

Works fine in CC2018. Double check that you do not have any illegal characters in your label names. Also, turn off the Javascript debugger in the AE prefs

zoic Lambert

Hi,
same issue... maybe because in french "Labels" are called "Libellés"...
And this is not possible to change...

Please make sure you restart After Effects after changing the label names

Robert Salatino

Hello. I read in the compatibility tab that ZORRO is only compatible up to AE CC 2015. Can i use it with CC 2018?

Robert Salatino

Hi, thank you for a possibly great script. However, in After Effects 2018, when i do an advanced Timeline (shy) of two layer tags, nothing shows up. If i don't use the advanced search and just add one tag to Timeline (shy) it works. I tried "All Reset" and that gets me back to all layers being visible but when i try the advanced Timeline (shy) with two tags, it still doesn't work.

jerome collet

Hello Lloyd, 
Just download your script to test it on after effect french version and it make me an error at line 342 : impossible to convert unicode characters.

I've changed the labels names in pref and restart AE but the error is stille here.

i'm on CC2020

Any idea of which unicode characters it could be ?

thanks a lot, your script seems to be great. 

Don't know why Adobe doesn't make a better solution to organize layers...

or you can keep the 29.99 if you can make v1.7 of zorro working the way I imagined it to work

(also, can you add a "enable/disable" (eye icon) button?)

Lloyd Alvarez

orhan karagoez said:

Just purchased this for 29.99 (default set price) and how do I get a refund?

I was so happy about this one UNTIL I realised 2 minutes in trying that this script doesnt work with tagging deep nested layers/comps with the same tag name and isolating them from a master comp level.....

also it adds layers to a tag that I have previously set comments on that I didnt add to a tag...

Excellent piece of work. Highly recommended.

I want to use Zorro but i work in after effects with others. How will zorro affect the project if im using it to tag my layers? I dont want to mess up my clients ae files.
