Auto populating a template with jpgs.

[jessica.peter@sas.com]

I would like to create an animation out of 1000 jpgs. I'm looking for ways to create a template once and have it populate automatically on importing of the 1000 jpgs. Is there a way to do this in After Effects? OR, is there a way to do this in Premier? This is for a PFP NFT project and I'd like to show the output of the generative code visually. Since the import is so large, I need ways to streamline this process so it's realistic to create.

Do you need 1000 separate outputs — one for each jpg?  Or, are there 1000 placeholders in a composition that you want to populate quickly upon importing 1000 jpg assets?  You can use a data-driven approach for either, but this tutorial with Templater might help you get an idea for swapping a larch amount of sources for layers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coiZJV70EVo

You can learn more about Templater, but you can definitely do something like this in AE with a custom ExtendScript design for how your particular AE project is setup.

The latter. There will be 1000 placeholders in a composition that I want to populate quickly upon import. 
So if I hear you correct, there are two ways to go about it. 1. Templater and 2. ExtendScript?

Thank you so much for the quick response!
