Works like a charm! The only downside of working with CSVs is that I can't use commas in the texts. The script treats the comma as a new line, and otherwise, it gives an error. Do you have any workaround for that?
Yes! All you have to do is put double quotes around your text “like, this” and it will work - it’ll omit the double quotes in your comp when you batch.
@@emilyagentile Thanks for your superquick response! Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. For some reason i get 2 double quotes (two on the left and two on the right). And after the comma the text goes to the other layer.
@@SportNatural2012 One of the other quirks to using the double quotes is that you can't have a space between data. for example: a,"b,c" will work, but a, "b,c" will not work. Remove the space before the quoted data and let me know if that works, otherwise feel free to email me at emilyagentile@gmail.com with your data and we can troubleshoot further!
Hi, new subscriber here. Thanks for the great content! I have a question. Is there a way to batch edit/swap images that are inside the precompositions? Your script works well when I have all the layers in the main comp, but the project I have has many precompositions. I have a main composition with many precomps called scene[0,24] , and for every [scene i], there are photo[i] and text[i].
hey, thanks a lot, works great!! i had some issues because i didn't pay attention to every single detail, but after some adjust i got it!! in 9:46 you important that you select the composition you wanna run the script
thank you for this video, it was very helpful! but how to edit the points and variables, just by changing the Excel sheet, and it will be updated inside premiere ?
you can try making a template comp in AE with "placeholder.jpg" as one of your mp4 or mov files of your videos. in the template comp, add the outro to the end. create a csv file with the Name Column, "Photo" column (put your 80 video names here), and any other column you need. import the vids into AE and run your comp. it should work with most file types as long as the layer is labeled "placeholder.jpg" and your Photo column cells match the names of your files. Hope this helps!
first thank you for this. i tried your script and i get an error: "unable to excute script at line 46. after effects error: unable to set "name". value is undefined" and i made the csv file exactly as explained i really hope you can help thank u
@@MrKevinMulder Hello, this error usually occurs because the "Name" column is not properly labeled. It needs to read exactly "Name", no other words and with a capital 'N' in Name. If you're still experiencing issues feel free to email me at emilyagentile@gmail.com and we can troubleshoot further. Thanks!
