After Effects Auto Call-Outs
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need an Adobe After Effects project that generates a five-minute video featuring 20 classic, simple call-outs positioned at different spots on screen. Each call-out must display a text description that is automatically fed from an Excel spreadsheet, so when I update the sheet the composition refreshes without manual typing.
Scope
• Build or adapt a ready-made template—style should stay clean and understated, not bold or flashy.
• Configure data-driven text layers (expressions, JSON/CSV import, or the built-in Spreadsheet/Essential Graphics workflow) so each of the 20 call-outs pulls from its own cell or column.
• Ensure timing covers exactly five minutes; the underlying footage can be placeholder material, as visual content is not the focus.
• Position call-outs in varied locations so they never overlap and remain legible throughout.
• Provide an exported reference MP4 plus the .aep file, any scripts, and a brief “how-to-update” note so I can swap in my own spreadsheet later.
Acceptance
• Opening the project and relinking my Excel sheet instantly refreshes all 20 text fields.
• No missing fonts or third-party plugins beyond standard After Effects tools.
• Final render plays for 05:00 with smooth call-out animations.
If this sounds straightforward for you, I’m ready to review your approach and timeline.
