Linking a TSV File to Your AE Project

Follow these steps to use a tab-separated value file or tab-delimited file as your data source.

  1. In the Templater panel, under Batch Assets, enter the absolute path to your TSV file into the Data source field. Or click the … button to choose a file.
  2. If your TSV file was exported from either Microsoft Excel or Apple Numbers, do the following:
    1. Click Preferences in the Templater panel to launch Templater Preferences.
    2. Check the Tab delimited data exported from Excel or Numbers checkbox. If your tab-delimited file was exported from a different application such as Google Sheets, leave this checkbox unchecked.

NOTE  Tab-separated value format is different from comma-separated value (CSV) format. Templater is not currently compatible with files in CSV format.
