Video automation

Custom After Effects Automation Pipelines

If your team makes the same kind of video over and over, dozens or hundreds of variations off one After Effects template, hiring more editors is the expensive fix. Automation is the other one. I'm a motion designer, so I know these templates from the inside, and I build custom render pipelines that turn a batch of orders into finished, checked videos with almost nobody touching them.

Let's scope it

The problem I solve

Making templated video by hand is slow and expensive, and it goes wrong more than anyone admits. Every variation costs another editor-hour and gives the wrong asset or a bad export another chance to slip through. It doesn't scale, and it spends your best people on work that doesn't need them.

What an automated pipeline does

This is the generic shape. Every build gets fitted to how your team actually works.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Pulls orders from a spreadsheet, form, or system you already use.

  2. 02

    Assets

    Automatically gathers the right footage, images, logos, and audio for each job.

  3. 03

    Render

    Drives your After Effects templates headlessly to produce every variation, at volume.

  4. 04

    Validate

    Checks every output automatically so broken or wrong renders never ship.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Uploads finished files and notifies your team where they need it.

How I build

I came to this as a motion designer, so I actually understand the After Effects templates I'm wiring up. I can build the template and the pipeline that renders it. That matters more than it sounds like it should, because most automation falls over on the edge cases nobody who built it had ever hit in a real project.

None of this is theoretical. I designed and built the render pipeline a production team I supervise ran on: order intake, asset gathering, headless rendering, automated checks, and delivery. It took that team's turnaround from a manual, multi-day process down to minutes, and it replaced an outside platform they'd been paying for. I later led the evaluation and migration to the enterprise platform that replaced it.

I work AI-assisted, which is what lets me build production-grade automation quickly and wire it into whatever your business already runs on. Spreadsheets, cloud storage, project management, chat, your existing creative software.

What you end up with is built around your workflow, rather than an off-the-shelf tool you have to bend yourself around.

Live demo in progress

A working proof-of-concept is on the way

I'm putting together a public standalone demo: a batch render of an After Effects template across my own footage, with the before/after and the code up on GitHub. Want a walkthrough of the approach before it's posted?
