Plainly
Automate video creation with After Effects templates and data

Plainly is a video automation platform that integrates with Adobe After Effects to generate data-driven video versions at scale. Users build custom AE templates, upload them to Plainly, and the platform handles cloud rendering to produce multiple video variations by dynamically swapping text, images, colors, and footage. It targets teams and creators who need to produce large volumes of personalized or localized video content without manual editing.
Users build After Effects templates, upload them to Plainly, connect data sources like Google Sheets or an API, and Plainly automatically renders multiple video versions in the cloud.
