Plainly Videos automates video production by rendering After Effects projects natively in the cloud. A single template can become thousands of unique videos, with no render hardware to manage.
Every render can use different text, images, video clips, audio, colors or effects. You can kick off renders from the web app, a CSV upload, Google Sheets or the API, then send results straight to YouTube, Google Drive, Amazon S3 and more. Popular uses are ad variations, localized content, sports graphics and personalized video.
The API has full feature parity with the web app, so companies can build Plainly into their own products as the rendering layer.
Plainly also offers Plainly Flows, a Zapier-style automation tool for creative work. Designers combine templates and AI steps into workflows, and non-designers fill in a simple form to produce assets.
More than 500 companies rely on Plainly, among them UNICEF, WPP, Anywhere and Burda. The platform is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.
