What It Does
AEInfoGraphics 2 generates animated chart compositions from spreadsheet data. Import CSV files directly or build tables within the extension’s interface. The plugin includes 12 chart templates (bar, cylinder, ring, circular, line, and others) with customizable color themes and animation timing. A preview system shows the final output before rendering.
The workflow: arrange your data, select a template, adjust settings like animation duration and label format (values or percentages), preview the result, then press Create. The plugin generates a composition with a PARENT control layer for adjusting colors and positions.
Key Features
CSV import. Bring spreadsheet data directly into After Effects without manual entry. Select data columns, edit values, and reorder items through the panel interface.
Multiple data sets. Compare two data sets in a single chart (available on selected templates). Useful for before/after comparisons or side-by-side metrics.
Real-time preview. See your chart animation before creating the composition. Eight templates support preview (four do not). Nine color themes can also be previewed.
Save and load. Store your data, settings, and template choices. Reload configurations for similar projects or recurring report formats.
Timing controls. Set both animation duration and composition length. Adjust how fast the chart animates independently from the total comp duration.
Who It’s For
Editors working on corporate videos, explainer content, or any project requiring data visualization. Useful for recurring reports where you need consistent chart styles across multiple deliverables. The save/load feature makes it practical for template-based workflows.
