Configure Dynamic Content Rulesets ​

Rulesets for dynamic content control what content is generated and how it's rendered in After Effects or HTML output. A ruleset consists of rules that specify conditions, the project element (composition) to render, data mappings, and assets to include.

Create a dynamic content ruleset ​

  1. Go to Templating → Dynamic content → Rulesets.
  2. Click Create ruleset or Add ruleset.
  3. Select whether this is an After Effects or HTML ruleset.
  4. Give the ruleset a name.
  5. Add rules that define the generation logic.
  6. Save the ruleset.

Add a rule to a dynamic ruleset ​

  1. Open the ruleset for editing.
  2. Click Add rule or Create rule.
  3. Configure the rule:
    • Name — enter a name for the rule
    • Composition — select an After Effects composition or HTML element that will be generated when the rule conditions are met
    • Conditions — define when this rule applies by setting conditions on briefing or product data
    • Values — map data fields to text layers in the selected composition
    • Assets — add images, sounds, or videos to specific asset layers in the composition
  4. Save the rule.

Define rule conditions ​

When you add a rule, you can specify one or more conditions that determine when the rule applies.

Condition types (available depend on the data field type):

  • Equals / Not equals — exact match
  • Contains / Does not contain — substring match (for string fields)
  • Greater than / Greater or equal / Lower than / Lower or equal — numeric or date comparison
  • Exists / Not exists — whether the field has a value
  • Match regular expression — pattern matching (for string fields)
  • Length of / Length greater than — array or string length checks

When you have multiple conditions, use AND to require all conditions to be true, or OR to require at least one condition to be true.

Map data to text layers ​

To display briefing or product data in your dynamic content:

  1. In the rule's Values section, click Add value.
  2. Select a text layer from the composition.
  3. Choose the data field to populate that layer.
  4. Optionally, select a format function to transform the value (e.g., currency, date format, regex extraction, or text decoration).
  5. Save the mapping.

Add assets to a composition ​

To include images, sounds, or videos in your dynamic content:

  1. In the rule's Assets section, click Add asset.
  2. Select an asset layer from the composition.
  3. Choose the data field that contains the asset reference.
  4. Optionally, add a condition to include the asset only when specific data conditions are met.
  5. Save the asset mapping.

Edit a rule ​

  1. Open the ruleset for editing.
  2. Find the rule and click to edit.
  3. Update the composition, conditions, values, or assets.
  4. Save the changes.

Delete a rule ​

  1. Open the ruleset for editing.
  2. Find the rule and click the delete button.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Apply a ruleset to a template ​
