Sure. I'm thinking of lower thirds. Let's say I've designed a nice animated one. with all likelihood, the text for name and title are buried in sub-comps for animation purposes. Now let's imagine, I'm doing a documentary with a bunch of interviews. I want to render out 10 animations with different values in name and title for use later in premiere. It would be nice to read those out of a database of some sort, no? Or, at the very least, be prompted on render for the values. Best I've come up with is to come up with a dummy layer with text objects and set the text source of the precomps to these text objects so I can edit them fairly easily in one place. Am I missing something simple?
