Make Hundreds of Lower Thirds in Minutes

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]);
