using csv to populate text or other elements

Coming from AE there is a very simple straightforward way to use a csv-file to populate a text-field or to use the data to drive parameters like size, scale or position.

This way you can produce motiongraphics where you only have to change the csv-file to display the new data.

Is there any way of doing this in Resolve?
I've found some scripting where you use Lua-tables, but I don't understand that completely.

I'm looking for things like lower thirds from csv (static) or
dashboard-like graphical elements that change every frame, based on the (row)data of a specific column in the csv-file (dynamic).


TIA

As you mentioned it is possible with scripting for fusion titles (text+)
But this is by all means not straight forward.
I guess after you have a template and a script associated with a csv file it will become easy to use.
But you will need to build it first.
If someone knows of a ready made script for that, correct me if I’m wrong.
Did you look at the “Reactor” library?
It has all kind of great stuff there.

Thanks for youre reaction.

I did look into Reactor, its a bit overwelming at first sight and I have to investigate futher and then install it.

I was hoping for a "native" solution. As with AE you can get countless plugins but when you upgrade you always have to hope the plugin still works. Fortunately DR doesn't forge you to upgrade every time
