Layer names

Limber won’t work properly unless all it's layers in a comp have unique names. When you make a new limb, Limber will prevent you from using an existing layer name.

To name the layers of a new limb, Limber uses a combination of a prefix and a suffix, separated by a tilde character: ~. You input the prefix in a textfield, and the suffix comes from the name preset in the dropdown. So if you type Right for the prefix, and select the name preset Leg, you’ll get Right~Ankle, Right~Hip and Right~Leg for your layer names. Those suffixes can be changed by editing your name presets in Limber's Settings.

Renaming limbs

The Rename button changes the names of all the layers for the selected limb. A popup lets you select a name preset and enter a new prefix.

Renaming layers yourself

You can rename any Limber layer yourself, just like any other layer in After Effects. But it's a good idea to leave a single tilde ~ between the prefix and the suffix.
