What it Does:

The script takes a single "template" composition and uses a spreadsheet (saved as a tab-delimited text file) to generate multiple new compositions. It can:

• Insert Text: Replace text layers in your template with data from your spreadsheet. Special codes like <br> can be used for new lines.

• Replace Layers: Replace designated layers with project items or files imported from paths specified in your spreadsheet.

• Automate Timing: A special naming convention can be used to have a layer dictate the length of the composition, which is particularly useful for audio.

• Dynamic Naming: The new compositions can be named based on the data in your spreadsheet.

• Render Queue Integration: The script can automatically add all the newly generated comps to the render queue, ready for batch rendering.

Key Features:

• Automated Versioning: Generate hundreds of variations of a single comp in minutes instead of hours.

• Targeted Layer Replacement: Use specific prefixes (^, #, >) in layer names to tell the script what data from the spreadsheet to use.

• Flexible Data Handling: It works with tab-delimited text files, allowing you to use a variety of spreadsheet programs.

• Scalability: For large projects with hundreds of versions, the script can segment the run into multiple projects to prevent performance issues.
