Templater Editions

Templater 2 is available in three separate editions—Rig, Pro, and Bot.

Subscription Types

Purchase a 1, 3, 6, or 12 month license in an up-front transaction by adding this item to your shopping cart. Templater Rig is included with all Pro subscriptions.

Why Use Templater Pro?

Sometimes you need to customize a master comp many times with data you might receive from a producer or client. Templater Pro handles this gracefully and efficiently. Reasons you might need to use Templater Pro in your studio:

  • Your clients deliver a spreadsheet of customer information, and they require a quick turnaround for many unique videos based on that data.
  • Your studio has multiple artists who need to work concurrently on different variations of a master composition.
  • Or, your studio must deliver many versions of a promo or interstitial slate for network broadcasts.
  • You have purchased a Templater compatible AE project and want to create many unique versions of it quickly based on data from a data source.

A single license of any Templater edition allows you to install and / or activate that edition on a single machine for one user. Before purchasing, you should verify that Templater will help your workflow by using it in trial mode. The trial lets you explore Templater Rig, Templater Pro and Templater Bot features with a watermark. After 30 days, all functions cease to work without a purchased license. For an additional fee, a floating license version is also available which works in conjunction with a Linux based license server. To inquire about a floating license version and server, please contact us at sales@toolfarm.com.

Subscription Pricing

Templater is a professional grade application—the kind that eliminates the worst of the tedium in post-production. Taking user feedback from the original release, we re-engineered our product line-up to accommodate users in any environment, from independent producers needing a single copy of Templater Rig to those working in studios and organizations running Templater Bot on dedicated server farms. What’s more, this new model provides better sustainability for continued support and development.

– BUG FIX — The Wand tool now works without a connected data source.

3.0.0 –  Apr 5, 2022

  • NEW FEATURE — Dataclay QUE Integration
    We are happy to introduce QUE! Moving forward QUE will be the primary and optimal data source for Templater. QUE exposes a REST API to leverage the full capabilities of Templater to produce dynamic videos. QUE frees you from the scalability constraints of traditional tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets, which become unwieldy as the volume and complexity of your video production needs grow. QUE supports
    security measures such as data-at-rest encryption as well as data masking for hiding personal and demographic data.
    An overview of QUE can be found at https://dataclay.com/que
    Read and study QUE’s API endpoints here: https://que-api-docs.dataclay.com
    Learn more about using QUE with Templater here: http://dcly.io/que-tutorials
  • NEW FEATURE — Spot Checking
    Spot checking lets you export still images or short video clips of specific frames from target compositions to help assure the quality of merged data in a batch process. Use composition timeline markers to set which frames you want exported, otherwise Templater exports an evenly distributed number of frames from the target composition. Spot checking can be performed exclusively or together with render or replication tasks, and export data can be sent to event scripts. Use new properties in `templater-options.json` to invoke spot checking via the Command Line Interface.
  • NEW FEATURE — Use Expressions-based Layout Engines
    Users now have the option to turn off Templater’s auto-layout engine and Time Sculpting features. Doing this allows users to rely on layer expressions or other custom plugins to achieve dynamic layouts as Templater processes your data. For example, if Templater’s internal layout
    engine does not suit your needs, you can disable the Layout Engine in Templater’s preferences and author your dynamic layout using tools such as:
    mamoworld’s Pins & Boxes
    or
    Zack Lovatt’s Flex
  • IMPROVEMENT — Optimized for AE’s Multi-Frame Rendering
    The Templater Settings effect is now “thread safe” making it optimized for AE’s Multi-Frame Rendering (MFR) feature released in 2022. Users should no longer see a yellow warning icon in the Effects Controls for Templater Settings.
  • IMPROVEMENT — Support for Google Shared Drives
    Users can now store Google Sheets in a Shared Drive, and Templater will be able to access those documents. Users no longer need to explicitly share the individual Sheets with Shared Drive members.
  • IMPROVEMENTS — Miscellaneous
    License activation has improved messaging when it encounters an issue. Offline activation is now accomplished using the Templater panel.You can now install Templater directly into After Effects Beta application folders on both macOS and Windows.On Windows, utility executables are now signed with a digital certificate so that they pass anti-virus checks.The {{off}} flag now mutes audio in addition to visually hiding a layer.Added support for references to JPEG File Interchange Format (.JFIF) assets and Google WebP (.webp) formatted file assets.Improved error messaging for missing output destination, missing footage root, and footage importing.
