How VidPlate integrates with After Effects

The VidPlate Studio After Effects extension can work as a standalone automation tool, letting you power After Effects templates with data from JSON, TSV, and Google Sheets. VidPlate Studio Pro connects your AE projects directly with order data from VidPlate.app.

Build Adaptive Templates
Create templates inside After Effects that can be turned into multiple variants using data.
Create Versions Before Render
Preview or generate versions saved as unique comps in seconds, without having to manually make changes to your master comps.
Automatically Export
Generate your variants and export them in a single process, speeding up production.

Benefits

Speed up post-production
Reduce manual steps by automating repetitive exports and variant generation.
Maintain creative control
Editors keep full access to AE tools while automation handles scale tasks.
Reliable outputs
Run validations and preview before sending jobs to the render queue.

What can VidPlate Studio do?

Visit knowledge base
Generate 100s of Variants
Drive After Effects templates from data. With the power of VidPlate Studio, you can control text, images, video, audio, colours, effects, layers, and more from multiple data sources.
Auto Process
Our Auto Process system systematically checks for new entries or orders and processes them, turning your desktop or laptop into a content automation platform in seconds, with no complex setup.
Works with Third-Party Plugins
Because all rendering is done on your computer, third-party effects and plugins continue to work, unlike many other systems that only support standard After Effects features.
Build and Manage Templates
VidPlate Studio users can build reusable templates and save data files that make it easy to load the right data for each template. Studio Pro users can upload and download templates directly through VidPlate.app, so users can start ordering from those templates straight away.
Download Assets (Studio Pro)
Any media assets submitted through an order in VidPlate.app can be downloaded directly inside After Effects. These assets are automatically linked to your currently open order so you can start working immediately.
Upload Deliverables (Studio Pro)
Upload finished content straight to VidPlate.app from After Effects. You can also update order statuses, which automatically notify users through the platform.
