FAQs

Is Plainly compatible with After Effects?

Yes, Plainly is fully compatible with Adobe After Effects. Users create video templates in After Effects, then upload them to Plainly for automated versioning and personalization. An After Effects plugin is also available for direct template uploads.

Do I need After Effects knowledge to use Plainly?

While deep After Effects knowledge isn't required for daily use of Plainly, someone must create the initial video template in After Effects before it can be uploaded and utilized within the platform for automation.

How does Plainly count video minutes for billing?

Plainly counts only the duration of the exported video, not the rendering time. Billing is based on the total length of the final video content rendered, without rounding up.

What is the difference between an automated video editing tool and a video automation tool?

An automated video editing tool assists with editing tasks, while a video automation tool like Plainly uses templates and data to automatically generate many video variations. Plainly focuses on scalable content creation rather than just editing assistance.

Can Plainly create custom templates or integrations for my workflows?

Yes, Plainly offers services to design and build custom After Effects templates for specific workflows. Additionally, their technical team can create custom integrations if native options or the API don't meet specific needs.
