How it works
Prepare your designs
Create your video and static ad templates in After Effects. Upload them to Plainly and choose which text, images, videos and colors can change.
Connect your AI tools
Build the workflow in Plainly Flows. Use a product photo and prepared prompts to generate images and video, then connect those outputs to your templates.
Let your team create the ads
Publish a form or table where teammates and clients can add product details and photos. Each submission generates the ad formats you’ve set up, ready to review and download.
Your design stays in your hands
Your After Effects templates define the layout, typography and animation. You choose what people can change and set up rules to keep new content within the design.
Anyone can create videos from your design
You control what can change. Everyone else opens a link, fills in the fields, and creates without touching After Effects.
Every field type
Add text, number, color, yes / no, media, documents, and multiple choice fields that you can map to your video template.
Rules for every field
Set required fields, character limits, number ranges, allowed file types, or a regex pattern to control exactly what users can submit.
Three levels of access
Share the form link publicly, put a password on it, or restrict it to members of your organization only.
Preview before submitting
Add a preview of your video and mark the area each field controls, so whoever fills the form can see exactly what they are editing.
Bulk submission
Add multiple values to a field or upload a CSV file to generate multiple videos from a single form submission.
Connect multiple tools
Combine different tools and AI nodes into one workflow that runs automatically with every form submission.

What others say about us
We have a great experience working with the team and Plainly. They weren’t shy to break the mold and go the extra mile. Personalization in today’s saturated digital landscape is paramount to cut through the noise and stick out; Plainly offers a great platform, product, and solution for this.
CMO, Y11 Sport & Media Holdings
Working with Plainly was great, their API is robust but simple to set up. After setting up the workflow, we literally forgot about it. The integration with After Effects allowed my team to work with tools they are familiar with and create high-quality video templates.
CTO, Tapni
Plainly allows you to produce large amounts of video content very quickly. A great advantage is that your content can be still very individual and on-brand due to the ability of using Templates made in Adobe After Effects. Its interface is quite intuitive and the software gets new interesting features often.
