Data-driven animation
There are two ways to drive a comp from data. Choose by whether the data should stay live:
| Approach | When |
|---|---|
| A. Data as footage + expressions. The file is in the project and expressions read it. | The numbers will change and the comp should update. One comp shows many values (charts). |
| B. The agent reads the data and builds with tool calls. | One output per row (versions, cards, social tiles), or the data needs cleaning first. |
Whichever you pick, look at the data before you build anything: row count, the longest string, the biggest and smallest number, empty cells. Two minutes there saves rebuilding forty comps.
