  • Automate Text list to titles?

    Posted by Chris Johnston on June 12, 2015 at 6:13 pm

    Hi, does anybody know if there is a way to generate titles from a text list. I was thinking that there could be a way to automate a text list into something like XML and then auto generate the titles from the list. Even if it has to be handled by a plug-in. I can work in Premiere or After Effects CC 2014. Thanks

    Reading text files with expressions is pretty limited. The file has to be a flat text file and the text itself has to be valid JavaScript code.

    Scripting can read text files (which includes tab-delimited spreadsheet files) or XML files. Depending on what your requirements are, I’d go with the scripting option.
