Is it easy to get text documents into AE CS5?


hi folks,

 

i have 4 precomps text layer of fixed size , position , 2 colours. bottom line white, others colour.

 

the required text sent me , changing these 4 precomps , rendering out finals.

 

i wondering if it's possible or worth import text file rather type in.

 

after search looks ae can import text ps? have ps know little it. i'm happy use in work flow though if it's easy , quick.

 

so there way this? mention colour etc know character generators can import text files, automatically fitting individual paragraphs templates.

 

any thoughts?

 

cheers

check aescripts et al. there scripts update/ create text layers external files. , updating source text via copy&paste without messing formatting easy enough, secret sauce in case being paste new text source text expression... automaticalyl fitting text not possible, though. apparance properties accessible through scripts , calculating stuff involving text can pretty beastly due how fonts work in general (visible data vs. em box , al lthat....)
