Automatic duplicate comp & auto replace image (based on library)

[Miguel De mendoza]

You can do it by scripting, try this:

function findItem (itemName, type){
var proj = app.project;
var curItem;
for(var i = 1; i <= proj.numItems; i++){
curItem = proj.item(i);
if(!( curItem instanceof type) || curItem.name != itemName){
continue;
}
else {
return curItem;
}
}
return false;
}

var images = findItem("Folder with images name", FolderItem).items;
var masterComp = findItem("Your master comp name", CompItem);

for(var i = 1; i < images.numItems; i++){
var newSource = images.item(i);
var newComp = masterComp.duplicate();
var layerSource = newComp.layers.byName("Your image layer name");

newComp.name = newComp.name + "_" + i;
layerSource.replaceSource(newSource);
}

Thanks for the answer; How and where do I have to apply this script?

File/Scripts/Run Script File.
The file must be a .jsx file.
