  Pull names from textfile, loop through array every frame

  Posted by Adam Haas on June 27, 2018 at 6:27 pm

  We have maybe 1000 videos that we need to make thumbnails of. There are 5 video types.

  I have the names of the videos, the type of video, and a background image.

  I’d like to get AfterEffects to pull the name of the video from a text document, and then display the matching background for that video. Each frame would then be a different video title and background.

  The idea would be that I would export as a sequence and have all my thumbnails created.

  This is beyond my scripting experience which is usually with animations. Any help would be appreciated.
