Turn Airtable records into videos automatically
Connect your Airtable base to an After Effects template and turn each new record into a finished video. Your team manages the content in Airtable while Plainly handles rendering and delivery.
You know you often hear business owners say we really just want technology to help us run our business better. Like this is it. This is what you do to run your business better.

How Airtable to video works
Prepare your video template
Upload your After Effects project to Plainly and choose which text, images, footage and other elements will change.
Connect your Airtable base
Select your base and table, then match its fields to the editable elements in your video template.
Create videos from new records
Add a record to your connected table to trigger a video. Plainly renders it in the cloud and can send the finished file to your connected storage.
Control what changes
Elements marked as dynamic change, everything else stays exactly as it was designed.
The video engine behind every submission
Apply submitted inputs to your After Effects template and automatically render a new video.
Native After Effects
Design the template where you already work, upload it, and every submission renders from that exact file.
You pick what's dynamic
Choose which text, images, audio, video, colors and other elements change per video while everything else stays fixed.
Formatting rules
Add scripts to layers so text and media auto-scales, and videos adapt to dynamic asset lenght.
Any format, any resolution
Render MP4, MOV or GIF at resolution from Full HD up to 4K and beyond.
Generate sets of creatives
Connect multiple versions of your template and render them all at once, or let users choose in the form.
Enterprise-grade security
Protect sensitive data throughout your workflows with ISO 27001 and GDPR compliant infrastructure.
Prefer another form instead of Airtable?
Connect Typeform or Jotform, create a form in Plainly Flows, or connect another form builder through our API. Turn each submission into a finished video.

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.
