Text2Spreadsheet earns its place in the toolfarm library by keeping the exchange file to plain text only, so the person editing it can't accidentally break your project. For more complex changes such as replacing footage files, the developer points to CompsFromSpreadsheet, Templater and Open Sesame instead.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet moves the text of an After Effects project into a spreadsheet, lets you modify it in Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers or Open Office, and applies the edits back to the project in a single click. There is no need to rename or mark the layers you want to export. The generated spreadsheets contain only the texts and no extra information, which keeps them easy to read and hard for a translator or client to break.
While translators work on the spreadsheet, you can keep changing your project. However you rename layers or compositions, or move layers between comps, Text2Spreadsheet still knows where each text belongs, and texts added later are easy to integrate into existing spreadsheets. Each text sits on its own row, and adding a column creates a new version.
When you apply changes, you get detailed status info on which text layers were modified in which compositions, with color coding to find the texts that actually changed. Export to CSV for maximum compatibility or Excel XML to use color coding. Filtering options exclude layers by name, limit processing to a specific folder, or avoid duplicates.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet is best for translating After Effects projects into different languages or sending texts to a client for review, when you only need to modify text and want a spreadsheet simple enough to hand off.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet is completely free to download and use.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet lists compatibility with a wide range of Adobe After Effects releases: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, CS6, CS5.5, CS5 and CS4. That span covers current versions alongside much older CS-era builds. For the current status of your specific After Effects version, check the developer's page before installing.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet works with Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, Open Office and many other applications. It offers two file formats: CSV for maximum compatibility across those applications, or Excel XML if you want to benefit from color coding, which is compatible with Microsoft Excel and Open Office. The spreadsheets contain only the texts and no extra information, so they stay easy to read and modify without much risk of breaking your project.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet encodes spreadsheets as UTF-8, so they work with any characters, which suits translating projects into different languages. Multi-line texts are directly supported as well, with no need to insert extra tags. Each text occupies one row of the spreadsheet, and you can create a new version of your texts by adding another column. Because the encoding handles any characters, you can send the spreadsheet to a translator or client for review in any language.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet always knows where each text in the spreadsheet belongs, so you can keep editing your project while translators work. No matter how you rename layers or compositions, or move layers to other compositions, the mapping holds. Texts you add later are easy to integrate into existing spreadsheets. When you apply the changes, you get detailed status info on which text layers were modified in which compositions, with color coding to spot the texts that actually changed.
mamoworld Text2Spreadsheet is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, and the changelog notes added support for time-limited licenses, so check the developer's page for current licensing details before you rely on it.
