Is anybody able to help??

You could also give Templater from dataclay.com a look. It's more pricey than Mylenium's suggestion, but it's pretty easy to use. We have been testing it for a couple of productions and it's been working pretty well. But I think there is a free trial version, maybe you can get your project done with that...

Sounds more like you may need a classic script rather than actual data-driven animation. This one sounds more like the deal:

Anything more would require better explanations on what you actually need/ want to do.

Yes. I film hundreds of horses and I need a graphic at the start of each video identifying each horse. I have every horse's details in a excel spreed sheet. I would like to create one introduction graphic for each video with the same design but different text detailing each horse.

See this link to an example video to give you the idea.. https://vimeo.com/679581171

thank you
