<![CDATA[Templater Settings -> Specific Precompositions]]>Hi, is it possible to apply the Templater Settings plugin to a specific precomposition on the timeline and control its visibility via the datasheet? I’m looking for solutions that would allow me to manage different variants in the projects I work on.

I’d like to have, for example, 5 precompositions stacked on the timeline, and use the datasheet to select which one should be visible in a specific render. I imagine this could somehow be scripted with expressions, but maybe there’s a ready-made solution for it?

Thanks in advance for your response!

This video demonstrates the comp switching technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEIg7mOR3iA

Yes, that’s possible. You can apply the Templater Settings effect to any pre-comp layers.

Then, in the data, add a column for the pre-comp, and use what we call layer flags to toggle their visibility.

To hide the pre-comp layer, in the cells for the mapped column, you can place in {{off}}.

Any other value will unhide it.

You can also enter another pre-comp name surrounded by brackets to change the source of the pre-comp layer.

See this article for more information on flags.

Let us know if you that answers your question and if you have any more.
