Layer-based timeline
Edit video, images, text, shapes, captions, audio, adjustment layers, pre-comps, cameras, lights, particles, and 3D objects in one timeline.
Professional motion tools in the browser, with video, graphics, 3D, audio, AI, and live templates in one workflow.The power and control expected from professional motion tools, reimagined for the browser. Build video, motion graphics, 3D, audio, AI, and live template customisation in one connected VidPlate workflow.
Build an edit from ordinary footage or combine disciplines inside one composition. Every layer remains editable, animatable, and connected to the wider VidPlate platform.
Edit video, images, text, shapes, captions, audio, adjustment layers, pre-comps, cameras, lights, particles, and 3D objects in one timeline.
Animate properties with keyframes, easing, graph controls, motion paths, expressions, linked properties, modifiers, motion blur, and reusable presets.
Build layered looks with masks, blend modes, transitions, colour effects, tracking, stabilisation, depth-aware effects, and adjustment layers.
Work with waveforms, multitrack mixing, EQ, dynamics and creative audio effects, then create styled, animated captions from speech.
Build the professional creative once, then connect intelligence, branding, and carefully controlled options so other people can create safely from it inside VidPlate.
Connect editable media fields to reusable VidPlate Recipes. Users can run approved generation and processing workflows without leaving the template experience.
Turn selected text layers into generated speech, preserve pitch while fitting the required duration, and place each result at its exact timeline position.
Connect templates to approved Brand Hub fonts, colours, logos, and assets so creative can adapt to the selected client or brand in real time.
Choose the fields users can change, expose safe options, and let them review the finished animation through a live in-app preview before rendering.
Generate, analyse, transcribe, and automate without breaking the creative workflow. Results return as editable media, masks, depth, captions, audio, or template structure—not a flattened dead end.
Turn a creative brief and source footage into a reviewable narrative structure with editable copy and proposed clip ranges.
Attach reusable generation and media-processing recipes directly to editable media fields.
Generate video and image options from inside the creative workflow, then keep editing the result on the canvas.
Create intelligent cut-outs, rotoscoping masks, and reusable depth maps for richer compositing.
Transcribe source audio into timed captions with controlled line length, styling, highlighting, and animation.
Generate speech from selected text layers and fit each result to the exact timing of the template.
Place familiar media and motion-graphics layers into a shared 3D scene, or build with dedicated models, materials, particles, lights, cameras, and physics.
Build scenes with cameras, real-time lights, shadows, reflections, HDR environments, and atmospheric controls.
Create emitter-driven particle systems and shape their movement with forces and scene interaction.
Start with editable 3D primitives and meshes or import glTF and GLB models into the composition.
Animate 3D transforms, cameras, and spatial layers with keyframes, curves, motion systems, and shared scene timing.
Build and connect PBR shaders, image textures, mapping controls, utility nodes, normal maps, and surface properties.
Add rigid-body and soft-body behaviour, collisions, gravity, fields, and force-driven motion where it suits the layer.
Video audio, music, dialogue, sound effects, and AI voiceover live together on the timeline. Waveforms make timing visual, while the mixer gives each source its own channel and keeps the final output under master control.
High-pass and low-pass filters, graphic and parametric EQ, channel volume, mute, and stereo positioning.
Compression, multiband compression, limiting, de-essing, and sidechain ducking for clearer, more controlled mixes.
Noise reduction and voice-focused controls help dialogue and generated voiceover sit cleanly in the production.
Reverb, delay, stereo spread, mono-to-stereo, modulation, tremolo, auto-pan, distortion, and creative effects.
Publishing does more than save a video. It connects your design to VidPlate’s brands, assets, customer controls, format variants, rendering, and delivery.
Design the edit, motion system, 3D scene, audio, and responsive formats in one browser workspace.
Link Brand Hub assets, approved colours and fonts, AI Recipes, and the editable fields users are allowed to change.
Turn the project into a controlled VidPlate template with live previews for each supported format.
Teams or clients customise content inside VidPlate while the design, animation, timing, and brand rules stay protected.
Designers build and protect the creative logic once. Teams, clients, data, or connected workflows can then change approved content while VidPlate preserves the animation, composition, timing, and brand rules.
Expose only approved text, media, colours, options, and switches.
Populate connected fonts, palettes, logos, and assets from Brand Hub.
Adapt the same project for landscape, square, portrait, and platform safe zones.
Create campaign, language, product, location, offer, or audience versions from one template.
An example of how brand, format, and message choices multiply from a single maintained template.
The VidPlate Media Engine drives the live canvas and browser-rendered output, helping the published result stay aligned with what designers and customers preview. Render multiple formats from the same project and deliver the completed assets back through VidPlate.

Send suitable production workflows to your own managed render machines.
Publish templates that create repeatable, brand-controlled content.
VidPlate sits between lightweight online editors and installed professional motion software. It brings advanced creative systems into the browser, then adds live customer customisation, brand control, automation, and platform delivery.
| Capability | VidPlate Motion | Typical online editor | Professional desktop motion tool such as After Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-layer video timeline | Advanced, mixed-media timeline | Usually streamlined for quick edits | Advanced timeline or composition stack |
| Keyframes and motion curves | Property keyframes, easing, graph editing, and modifiers | Often limited to presets or basic keyframes | Advanced keyframes and graph controls |
| Motion graphics | Text, shapes, masks, effects, tracking, expressions, and pre-comps | Template and preset-led motion | Deep motion-design toolset |
| Integrated 3D | Cameras, lights, models, materials, particles, and physics | Usually limited or absent | Varies; often extended with plugins or companion apps |
| AI inside the workflow | Planning, generation, recipes, masks, depth, captions, and voiceover | Commonly generation, captions, and quick edits | Varies by product, plugin, and connected service |
| Audio | Multitrack mixing, effects, waveforms, captions, and timed voiceover | Usually simple volume, music, and voice tools | Capable audio workflow; depth varies by tool |
| Runs in the browser | Yes, with live editing and preview | Yes | No; installed desktop application |
| Live end-user customisation | Publish controlled fields and live previews directly into VidPlate | Usually edit access or fixed template reuse | Requires a separate delivery or automation system |
| Brand and asset connection | Native Brand Hub, Asset Library, templates, and format variants | Often brand-kit based | Usually file, library, or plugin based |
| Production rendering | Browser rendering plus connected VidPlate and Studio Render workflows | Primarily browser/cloud export | Local, network, or third-party render workflows |
This is a workflow-level comparison, not a claim that every product in either category has the same feature set. Online and desktop capabilities vary by product, version, plan, plugin, and operating system.
