About Comp Replicator: CSV Driven Batch Comps

Comp Replicator: CSV Driven Batch Comps operates inside After Effects to turn spreadsheet data into a series of new compositions built from one template. It reads .csv, .tsv, and .txt files, replacing text or swapping layer media by searching the project for items by name or importing files via path. The tool supports nested layers, automatically replicating entire nested comp hierarchies. Users can tag specific layers in the template to speed target selection, and a responsive interface simplifies the workflow for any skill level. Render options include adding comps to the render queue, sending them to Media Encoder, or replicating existing queue items, with support for movies and stills. Default template names, CSV paths, and naming schemes can be preset, enabling a one‑click creation and rendering process.
