Python 101: Update Fusion Graphics from Spreadsheet Data

Series	Python 101

Part 7: Automate text graphics and batch export all deliverables with one script!

In the seventh part of our ongoing series on scripting with Python, we’ll build a workflow to update multiple on-screen graphics for several pieces of text and render all of the final customized files.

We’ll do this by pulling the text from a spreadsheet, automating the editing of Fusion compositions, and automatically rendering all of the timelines to batch export our deliverables.

We’ll break this process down into three topics:

• Parsing CSV files
• Editing Fusion compositions
• Automatically rendering timelines

Even if you join us partway through the series, we’ll explain everything step-by-step so you can follow along. You can also go back and start with Part 1.
