    After Effects XML read from text file automatically

    Posted by Armand Verhoeven on July 20, 2012 at 7:55 am

    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.

    Michael Cardeiro’s CompsFromSpreadsheet script [link] was written for work like this.
