Expressions and External Documents

This tutorial explores how to set up an external text document to drive content for items like lower thirds and interstitials. Many many thanks to my friend Maltaannon for the idea to use the #include statement.

In the tutorial, the expression you see works great in CS3, but not in CS4.  I wrote a follow up to this for CS4. Many thanks to Lloyd Alvarez for much help on this.

    Thanks! Very helpful. Let’s step it up a notch. :-)

    I’m looking to important Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, Hindi, etc… and replace an English version of an entire project. Any words of wisdom? Ever tried this before?

    Thanks.

    I got distracted while writing my last posting…. and I’m looking to IMPORT, not important! :-) Don’t let people interrupt when you’re typing a post like this. I’m not seeing a DELETE that I can use for my own post. Apologies.
