How to make hundreds of unique, animated lower thirds in minutes using expressions to create a data driven animation in Adobe After Effects.
This technique is a huge time saver, and I’ve used in professionally many times!
Here is the basic expression I use in the video to change the text for each lower third:
var row = thisComp.name.replace(/\D/g,'')-1;
var col = 0;
footage("DataFileName.csv").dataValue([col,row]);
