@Valery-IV I sent a more detailed response to the message you sent to our support channel, but I will leave a more general response to this inquiry here. Basically, what you’re attempting to achieve isn’t entirely possible using the default Templater layout rules. Templater requires an “anchor” object to center other items on, so having the two attached pieces of text is going to result in some layout discrepancies depending on the length of the price and currency items, respectively. You can achieve something similar to the pictures you’ve attached by combining the two text items and using a series of Text Animators to adjust each word’s size and placement. Or, you could use a third-party plugin like Text Chain to control each part of the text individually. Since Templater can center and adjust a single text object, this should allow you to achieve the sort of effect you’re looking for. If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know.

@Oliver This can also be solved with an expression. Take a look at this post.

@yansfeld If I understand your description correctly, I think you could achieve this result by pre-composing all of the animated layers and then applying Templater to the pre-comp to center the result. If that doesn’t work, let us know, and we’ll see what else we can come up with. Thanks!

Oh yeah that should work. I’ll give it a try! Thanks

@Ben-Forman I understand that we’re in direct contact on this particular issue, but I wanted to make sure that any additional technical questions that you might have get answered. As far as referrals go, we’re in the process of creating a system for clients to get in touch with skilled developers. That should be launching relatively shortly, but if we can answer any other questions in the meantime, please just us know.

@Jeff-Rubin Could you clarify which form you are talking about, as we have several methods of communication on our site-- a general contact form, a support ticket form, and if you’ve submitted either form previously, you can either reply directly to any emails you receive from us or access and reply to your tickets when logged into the same account that sent the messages under the “account” menu. If something is broken, we need to know specifically what was happening so that we can investigate and address it. Thanks!

@Jeff Yes that would work, I already shifted to that approach and dropped the idea of using markers, it was not necessary. Breaking the audio into smaller audio clips works. Thank you.

Pete, I’m thinking that you’re correct in assuming that this probably has to do with After Effects getting tripped up by the file getting swapped but AE using a cached version of the old file. Unfortunately, this isn’t a super common issue, so we’ll probably need to dive deeper into the specifics. I’d like to know a bit more about where the audio files are stored. Is this local footage, or are they being downloaded from a URL? If the source is remote, could you check and see if the “Allow unique downloads for cloud-based assets” box is checked in the Templater Preferences? If the assets are local, I think that getting access to the templater.log file would probably be the best next step so we can see if there’s something obvious happening behind the scenes. Thanks, Jeff

Thank you Jon that last tip was a big help. any other info would be very helpful . like how to use JSON with GSheets or vise versa. Ariestav seems to be a good idea but im still having trouble in the implementation of it.

@SammyGDrake Do you have anything set for the Alignment, Align To, or Scale factor settings in the Templater Settings panel? It sounds as though Templater is aligning the text based on the Layout settings and breaking the Mister Horse Animation presets. Could you try clearing any settings you might have in the Layout section and see if that makes a difference? Thanks.

@IanW Most of the basic testing we’ve done indicates that .ai files should be able to be swapped in without an issue. However, due to larger files’ potential complexity, there’s some possibility that performance might be impacted. If you’re looking to use more complex files, I’d recommend downloading the free trial version of Templater to see if it works well with you’re planning. The demo is a fully functional version of Templater Bot with a 30-day trial, so it should give you ample time to see if you run into any difficulties. We also provide support during the demo period, so if you run into issues, we can do what we can to help you in any way possible. Hope that helps!

Thanks Jeff!

Thank a lot for your quick response :) I found it. I deed it hides in the window menu very down at the bottom. Now I hope it will works as I expect and save me a lot of time.

@Ryan Absolutely. It’s what the “Fit Image Style” option in Templater Effect Panel does. There are two options: Fill (Cropped) and Letterbox (No Cropping). Fill will expand the image until it fills the entire frame, whereas Letterbox will keep the image constrained to the Comp proportions. If you have any additional questions about Templater, please just let us know.

@Roberto-Mardini You can add your comp to the render queue normally via AE’s menus, and it will render just the currently-previewing individual job data. The render-status column is only used by Templater Bot. If you still want to output a range of rows, you’d still need to adjust the start and end values in the Transport controls section.

@Steve I’m not clear on the question you are asking. Could you explain more in depth what is and isn’t happening, and what you are trying to make happen?

@simon_t apologies for the long delay. We haven’t been receiving notices for new posts, but I believe we corrected that issue. It looks like the video at the loom link isn’t active anymore. If you set a scale factor on the text layer, and make sure that it is within it’s own precomp that is the size of the text box you want, it should fit the text to the dimensions of the precomp.

@Richard Apologies for the delay. Can you clarify your workflow a bit more? The master composition, by design, does not get affected by any of its children compositions. You may be able to use Adobe’s Master Properties, though we have not tried this.
