      Hi,

      I have pre-comp layers ( consist of a few box and texts) that need to be positioned according to the content of the video.
      Is it possible to position it based on x and y value defined in the google sheet? Appreciate your response. Thanks

        Yes, you can do this, but you will need to use expressions to accomplish it. You can set numerical values in your data, then map that data to a dynamic text layer in your project. Then, you can use a parseInt() expression to parse the value of the sourceText of the layer into a number that can be used in any numerical value such as position, scale, rotation, etc. See referencing dynamic text layers section.
