  After Effects XML read from text file automatically

  Dear AE guru’s!

  I have a question and I think it’s a big challenge but not impossible (I guess)

  What I want to create is the following:

  I’am a VJ and need to create name sequences for like 120 names with the same animation.

  Is it possible to let AE read from a txt or xml file to automaticly where the 120 names are in and render it with a Template?

  And could you bring me in the good direction?

  I’am familiar with AE like 6 years and basic in expressions.

  Thanks in advance.
