Dynamic Layers

Templater works by allowing users to tag certain layer types as dynamic, or data-driven, meaning they will update when Templater processes new render job data from a data source. To tag layers, apply the Templater Settings effect to them.

As of Templater version 2.8, supported dynamic layers types include the following:

  • text
  • solid
  • footage
  • pre-composition
  • adjustment
  • json

NOTE  The Templater Settings effect cannot be applied to Shape layers. You can pre-compose Shape layers, and apply the effect to the pre-composition, instead.
