Wow great response, thanks!

Do you think the thing i’m trying to accomplish is possible by scripting?

Not yet 🙂

The render engine doesn’t seem to support relative paths in expressions. So im still trying to figure out how I can tell AE to search in the folder it is in.

As in:

myPath =”Check out this folder.textinformation.txt”;

Or this.textinformation.txt.

I basically want to avoid an absolute path..

I figured out that this does work in After Effects.

But when i try to render it out with the AE render engine (by collecting files + storing the .txt/.php files in the same folder) all of the sudden AE won’t display the text written in the .txt/.php and the original text will show up in the composition.

If I use a absolute path however (myPath = “/c/folder/folder/Textfile.txt”;)

It will work in AE and with the render engine. This is what i write in the text file:

Comptext:

text01 = [“Text 01”]
text02 = [“Text 02”]
;
