About mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet exports the text of an After Effects project to a simple spreadsheet, allowing you to edit the content in Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, OpenOffice or compatible CSV tools. The plugin tracks each text layer even if layers or compositions are renamed or moved, and newly added texts are automatically integrated. Each line of text occupies its own row, and additional columns create new versions. After editing, a single click imports the changes back, providing a colored status report that highlights which layers were updated. Export formats include CSV for universal compatibility and Excel XML for color‑coded reports. Filtering options let you exclude layers by name, limit processing to specific folders, or avoid duplicates, and the tool fully supports UTF‑8 Unicode and multi‑line text.
