Automation script for make a lot of videos

Question

I have to make around 300 videos,

in each video has to change the footage and add a unique number on it

The process is as below:-

Freeze the last frame of each video and there is a unique number to add to it
then increasing last frame size in timeline and adding unique number of the footage
then simple animation adding on unique number (Zoom in - Zoom out)
then export it.

anyone can help me do this process fast and automatic by scripting or anything else?

please, please, please....!!!

Beside writing the script, you can replace the footage with freezed frame.

Workflow would be to create video 1, export it and done. Then, for video 2 and all the others, you click on the footage in the comp, press and hold ALT while dragging new footage above the selected layer. This only makes sense, if all your footage has the same length.

What about the unique numbers? Are those just 1,2,3,... or something like 3324, 5543, 7521235, ...?

Where do they come from? You can link an excel to AE or outsource the number to an slider for easier editing.

If you are not into programming in any case (never had) and you don't find anybody, who will write the script for you (for free?), you'll be faster making this by hand.

If you have 2 or 3 weeks to spend, learn scripting for AE. It is easy!
