Adobe After Effects labels: Project vs Layer/Timeline How do I label my Composition clips in the Layer/Timeline panel, based on how they are categorized/binned in the Project panel? 


I have a composition created by Adobe Premiere of about 100 items
I've set the label for each clip/asset in the Project pane


I have bins for each label
I did this because the different clips were shot with different light, and I want to correct for this

I see my clips in the Layer/Timeline panel
...with labels...
yet the labels are NOT the same as how they appear for the same assets above, in the Project panel!


Q: why are these labels inconsistent?

Q: I want to apply a effect preset I have to a subset of the clips, which is already labelled and binned in the Project pane.  How?
Try clicking on the "Layer Name"/"Source Name" column title in the timeline.  It should toggle between the name in your Project bin, and the name you've given the layer in the comp.
