We have a great experience working with the team and Plainly. There weren’t shy to break the mould and go the extra mile. Personalisation in today’s saturated digital landscape in paramount to cut through the noise and stick out; Plainly offer 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.
