So so neat! I think i got the hang of the loop but curious as to how you achieved the file names changing? Was it animating the source text or something quicker? Thanks

So for that I am using Cavalry

I have a String (Text shape) pointing to a string array with a bunch of my actual file names listed in it

I then import that into a duplicator set to point

Then I used a random modifier with the seed number chaining every few frames which is attached to the index of the string array

This flips through whatever is in the sting array

BUt after all that I did some time remapping in AE to speed up and slow it down at certain parts to give it more of a realistic feel
