Hi Matthias and community
I was wondering if the linking of spreadsheets to After Effects
in Automation Blocks works like in Premiere PRO or if there are
limitations. I would like to drive colors text and other things with
a spreadsheet. (i know there is the free JSON script but I would
prefer to work with a CSV file) thanks for the help or linking to
a tutorial.
Sandro

Hi Sandro,

the spreadsheet blocks works identical in Ae and Pr. Getting/Setting properties of layers works a bit different in Ae, but is also possible.

Here is an example how to get/set texts with a spreadsheet:

this example will also be helpful:
