So I tried it, but After Effects doesn’t recognize it as a proper JSON file. It wants me to convert it to a JSX file. Is there a way I can do that properly in JSON format?

Thanks Alex!

I figured out a way to call up the data that I want. What I am really looking for is to type in the name of the team and have the expression pull the corresponding mascot name from the list. Like this:

– I type in “Air Force” to a text layer.
– Another text layer reads that input and matches TEAM: “Air Force” to MASCOT: “Falcons” and then outputs the text “Falcons.”
– Basically I am looking for this number – jsonData.[find this number].MASCOT based off of a text layer.

Is that possible? Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks!!

Hey Thomas, thanks for your reply!

Sorry, I definitely should have included that. Here is what my .JSON looks like:

{
“TEAM”: “Abilene Chr”,
“MASCOT”: “Wildcats”,
“LOGO”: “ABILENE_CHRISTIAN”
},
{
“TEAM”: “Air Force”,
“MASCOT”: “Falcons”,
“LOGO”: “AIR_FORCE”
},

I can change this structure if it makes it any easier. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!
