Renaming objects in the Timeline window

Whenever an object is added to a composition, it is automatically added to and named in the Timeline window with a descriptive name, such as "light red rectangle." This name changes if you change the color or shape of the object. You can rename objects at any time. Once you give an object a custom name, it keeps this name regardless of changes made to the object.

To rename an object in the Timeline window:

1. Click on the object name in the object hierarchy panel of the Timeline window.
2. Do one of the following:
• Press Enter.
• Choose Object > Edit Name.
3. Type a new name, and click OK.
