Automation After Effects
Posted by Peter Brelan on March 4, 2016 at 1:10 pmGood morning,
i’d like to create weather clips every 4 hours

I’d like to change automatically icons and temperatures with XML or other data. Do you know if it’s possible ?Regards

March 4, 2016 at 1:20 pmI know there is a script (aescripts.com) that can enable AE touse excel data:

AND
a XML to EXCEL conversion tool (there are other options as well)

I just meant that you could build a repeatable process around this automation.
Pipeline: a set of data processing elements connected in series, where the output of one element is the input of the next one. (Wikipedia [link])
