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.
