Stands out in the After Effects library as a free, open-source bridge to the Plainly Videos platform, handling export, upload and cloud-render preview in one extension.
Plainly Videos is an open-source After Effects extension that connects the application directly with the Plainly Videos platform for automated video production. It gives Plainly users a way to work with the platform from inside After Effects.
The extension covers four main jobs. Project Export automatically gathers all of a project's assets into a single ZIP file for easy sharing. Project Upload sends projects straight to Plainly for automated rendering. Preview Cloud Renders brings cloud-rendered content back into After Effects for faster feedback. Seamless Collaboration keeps teams in real-time sync to avoid version mismatches.
Plainly Videos is free and distributed under the Apache 2.0 open-source license. The current release, version 1.4.1, was last updated on May 12, 2026, and supports After Effects 24.0 and later.
