MoDeck.io stands out in the aescripts library for pushing template editing out of After Effects and into a shareable online editor, with a data-driven path to generating many videos from one template. Version 1.13.15 brought server stability improvements and various macOS fixes.
MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription turns After Effects templates into online-editable projects, opened through a drag-and-drop online editor. Beyond one-off edits, it connects mogrt properties to spreadsheet data, letting you generate many videos at once from a single template.
The workflow starts with a free desktop app: download and install it, log in, and set your sync folder location. From there, videos can be edited online for free, forever. MoDeck is available as a free version and as a recurring subscription, with template creation open for 14 days on the free tier.
Depending on the plan, MoDeck supports anywhere from a couple of templates with a few mogrts each to unlimited templates, editors, and mogrts, plus unlimited video generation from data. You can customize the editor's color scheme and logo, share templates with a link, embed the editor on your own site, and send fully customizable notification emails from your own address. Unlimited API access is available, and the plugin runs across After Effects releases from CS5 through 2026.
MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription is best for teams and collaborators producing many videos from a single template using spreadsheet data, and anyone who wants others editing After Effects templates through an online editor.
MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription is completely free to download and use.
MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription supports a wide span of After Effects releases, covering CS5, CS5.5 and CS6, the CC editions from CC through CC 2019, and the yearly versions from 2020 all the way to 2026. It also lists compatibility with Adobe Media Encoder across 2014 through 2026. If you work across older and current After Effects installs, the plugin's version list should cover most setups, but it's worth confirming your exact release on the developer's page before committing to a workflow.
Getting started with MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription begins with the free desktop app: download and install it, log in, and set your sync folder location. Once that's in place, your After Effects templates become editable online through the drag-and-drop editor, and videos can be edited online for free, forever. The desktop app handles syncing between your local files and the online editor, so the link between your After Effects work and the online editor is established during that initial install and login step.
MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription is listed as free in this catalog. A free version is available to download, letting you edit videos online for free, forever, and create templates free for a 14-day period. MoDeck is also offered as a recurring subscription, which raises limits such as more templates, more editors, more mogrts and unlimited video generation from data. Because licensing terms and tiers can change, check the developer's page for the current details before choosing between the free version and the subscription.
MoDeck.io Upfront Subscription generates many videos at once by connecting mogrt properties to spreadsheet data, so a single template can produce a batch of outputs driven by rows of data. On higher subscription tiers this extends to unlimited video generation from data, along with unlimited templates, editors and mogrts per template. The data-driven approach lets one template be output across many variations from a single spreadsheet, which is the main workflow the tool is built around.
