Is there any Script or Expression to pull data from a spreadsheet?
Hey all,
I’m trying to create 200+ videos that only differ by one or two text layers and I’d like to know if there’s a script or expression that I can use to pull text from a spreadsheet, input into a text layer in after effects, and then render it out with an incremented number after the file name.
I can do it manually but it would just save me a bunch of time. Any ideas or thoughts?
Much appreciated! -

Check this tutorial by Harry Frank also, it might be a little easier to implement if you’re only changing one or two text objects.

Cool. I’ve got some family in Liverpool and some friends in the Syracuse area, but I haven’t been up there in some time.

Well, now I’m hungry…

The coincidences don’t end there. Walter B.’s hometown borders mine.
