I'm currently working with a lot of real data that needs to be animated within After Effects. I can create and use .CSV and .JSON files, but these type of files can only give me static values. I need to be able to access values that change from frame to frame. Does anybody know how to create .MGJSON files? There is little to no documentation from Adobe on the matter.

Hey Rob,

I just created this site that allows to convert a prepared CSV to mgJSON. You can have a look at the sample CSV to see the structure you need to follow. It's a bit limited and not thoroughly tested, so you might encounter problems. I'll be happy to solve them 🙂

I hope this is useful.

You would likely simply have to add the fancy extra formatting in some code editor or a text processor with automation features. The actual data is simple enough - a time and value pair per frame/key. I'm not aware of any script or app outputting it natively at this point.
