You feed it a load of google (or excel or CSV) tables, with specified values, and it can churn through a load of files to export different comps with different arrangements.</p>

<p>I have a comp that has various layers that I would like to toggle on and off in combination. Lets say I would like to turn on and off layer to create 60 distinct combinations. I do this by hand, add to the render queue one at a time and then export, but this is a real pain.  Is there any way in after effects ( perhaps even through scripting ) to create something like &quot;layers comps&quot; and &quot;layer comps to files&quot;.</p>

I have a comp that has various layers that I would like to toggle on and off in combination. Lets say I would like to turn on and off layer to create 60 distinct combinations. I do this by hand, add to the render queue one at a time and then export, but this is a real pain. Is there any way in after effects ( perhaps even through scripting ) to create something like "layers comps" and "layer comps to files".
