Handling a Project with Multiple Compositions
It is possible to generate an animation file from a project containing multiple compositions.
Elements within any composition can be substituted. Additionally, the composition that the
operator wishes to render can be specified. Figure
3-13 provides an example of the
modified spreadsheet to support multiple compositions.
Figure 3-13. Rendering an animation file from a specific AE composition
The R ENDER C OMPOSITION column specifies which composition within the project will be
rendered by the After Effects Plug-in. If this column is not included, the first (default)
composition for the project will be rendered.
To specify an element within a composition to substitute, the format of the column header
must be ‘
COMPOSITION NAME | ELEMENT NAME ’. For example, C OMP 1|N EXT S HOW T IME .
If only the element name is entered, then the substitution will take place on an element in
the composition specified within R
ENDER C OMPOSITION column, or within the default
composition if this is not specified. For example, figure 3-13 shows that the first substitution
will take place in the composition called C OMP 1 and it will look for an element named
N EXT S HOW T IME .
