What is Templater?
Templater turns the arduous task of customizing video content into an elegant workflow solution. Users automate AE project customization with a simple interface that transforms text, footage, and solid layers into dynamic elements. Templater is design aware, automatically adjusting dynamic elements to produce a finely crafted result just the way you like.
Purpose
Templater was made to improve the process and workflow of producing targeted video based on various external data sources. As organizations mine and store more information, they need ways of leveraging this data to create meaningful connections with customers in markets across the world. Big data can drive media content, but video producers need a way to easily insert information into custom video without tediously replacing assets.
Templater Editions
Templater is available in three separate editions—Rig, Pro, and Bot. Each ships with a specific feature set. Read our handy descriptions below to see which edition or combination of editions is right for your organization. Learn more about Templater Pro and Templater Bot on their respective catalog pages.
New in Templater 3
- Integration with Dataclay QUE – an API to manage dynamic video data and render tasks.
- Quality control batch output with “Spot Checks” – auto-exported still images of your dynamic comps.
- Use expressions to build unique responsive layouts in favor of Templater’s internal layout engine.
- Support for Multi-Frame Rendering in After Effects 2022 and later.
- Native Apple Silicon support.
How It Works
- An effect plugin and a ScriptUI panel are installed into AE.
- Users feed customization data into After Effects from a data source. Templater can read Google Sheets documents, JSON object arrays in text files, or tab-separated value files.
- Users tag layers as dynamic with the custom effect and map data to those layers.
- For each row in a spreadsheet or object in a JSON array, Templater updates each tagged layer with its mapped data.
- Templater’s layout engine automatically adjusts dynamic layers to produce a finely crafted composition that is either rendered or replicated.
- Users take advantage of either Templater’s graphical user interface or The Bot and its command line interface to achieve results.

It’s now easier than ever to identify when errors occur
during Templater’s operation and what specifically causes
those errors:
+ In Templater’s connected data source, Bot will label
individual rows / jobs with an error when an output issue
occurs. Any issue locating or importing media assets causes
Templater to assign an error value to the `render-status`
property.
+ For each processed row / job, Templater logs details about
missing or corrupt media references and their corresponding
composition layers to the `templater.err` file.
+ Errors and info emitted by After Effects, regardless of
severity level, to the `templater.err` file.
+ Detailed logs are attached to each processed job in QUE for
enhanced observability and transparency.
