Coming soon for Windows and Mac

Your hardware. Unlimited nodes. One fixed software licence.
Studio Render brings VidPlate automation to the suitable computers you already own. Start with one Windows or Mac machine, then connect as many approved nodes as you need. Jobs are intelligently distributed across the available network without VidPlate charging by machine or processing minute.
Make existing hardware work harder
Use spare capacity, dedicated workstations or an existing studio fleet while keeping specialist fonts, plugins and production assets in your controlled environment.
Inside Studio Render
A clear view of every render
Monitor your workstation, see active and queued jobs, and keep track of completed output from the desktop app.
Machine dashboard
Replace with a screenshot showing machine health and render capacity.
Render queue and jobs
Replace with a screenshot showing active, queued or completed jobs.
Software for the render capacity you already own
Turn existing machines into an automated production network
Studio Render is orchestration software, not a bundle of cloud-rendering credits. Your machines do the processing while VidPlate manages the flow of work.
Unlimited render nodes
Connect as many approved machines as your studio or business needs under one fixed Studio Render software licence.
Scale without usage fees
Add capacity with your own hardware without per-node charges or render-minute fees from VidPlate.
Automatic processing
Requests are picked up, processed in After Effects and returned to VidPlate without manual handoffs.
Your fonts and plugins
Render in your own controlled environment with the fonts, plugins and tools your templates require.
One design ecosystem
Build templates with the same VidPlate design and automation principles whether a designer runs them through the Studio After Effects extension or Studio Render processes them unattended.
One VidPlate design ecosystem
Design once. Produce either way.
Studio Render uses the same template structure and automation principles as the VidPlate Studio After Effects extension. Designers do not need to learn a second system or rebuild templates for a different production route.
Studio extension
Designer-led production
A designer works inside After Effects, applies VidPlate controls and produces content interactively.
Studio Render
Unattended production
The same design system runs automatically across your approved render nodes when requests arrive through VidPlate.
A different model from cloud rendering
Studio Render software vs managed cloud-rendering services
Cloud services sell access to remote processing capacity. Studio Render gives your business the software to automate suitable hardware it already owns.
| Comparison | VidPlate Studio Render | Managed cloud rendering |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Software that automates your own render capacity | A managed cloud-rendering service |
| Hardware | Use suitable Windows and Mac machines you already own | Processing runs on the provider’s infrastructure |
| Scaling | Connect unlimited approved render nodes | Concurrency and engines depend on the selected plan |
| Charging model | One fixed software licence with no per-node or render-minute fees | Usually a subscription, usage charge or additional engine cost |
| Production environment | Keep your own fonts, plugins, assets and dependencies | Templates and dependencies must work in the provider’s cloud environment |
| Responsibilities | You manage hardware and the required Adobe licences | The provider manages the cloud-rendering infrastructure |
| Wider workflow | Requests, templates, rendering and delivery stay connected in VidPlate | Primarily focused on submitting and completing renders |
Cloud-rendering features and charging models vary by provider and plan.
Install it. Connect it. Let it render.
A straightforward local render workflow for Studio Pro teams, without building cloud render infrastructure.
01
Install
Install Studio Render on a Windows or Mac machine with Adobe After Effects and your production dependencies.
02
Connect
Sign in and connect the desktop app to your VidPlate Studio Pro account.
03
Let it run
The render node claims requests, processes them and uploads completed files to VidPlate.
Automatic delivery: completed video and static jobs are uploaded back to VidPlate, ready for users.
Requirement: a valid Adobe After Effects licence is required on the machine you install and run Studio Render on. VidPlate does not provide an After Effects licence.
