What is Templater?
Templater, a workflow automation tool for Adobe® After Effects®, simplifies the process of customizing video content by turning text, footage, and solids into dynamic elements that update as Templater processes an external data source. Users can create personalized videos in bulk, which is increasingly important in today’s fast-paced media environment. This allows for the automated creation of multiple video variants based on merging data from sources like spreadsheets, Google Sheets documents, APIs, or JSON-formatted text files together with video composition templates.
Templater’s capabilities have had a profound impact on industries ranging from broadcast network branding and social media content production to e-commerce and digital signage. For instance, a network can utilize Templater to generate localized news segments tailored to specific regions rapidly. This enables users to efficiently produce personalized, localized, and data-driven video content, maximizing engagement and relevance in their communications.
