What it does for you

Developers and marketing teams who produce the same kind of video repeatedly.

More about this job

Programmatic video treats a video as a program: components, data and a render step. It suits repeatable formats such as social clips, reports and personalised messages.

Workflow in 5 steps

  1. Define the template and which parts are data.
  2. Build one composition and preview it.
  3. Feed it data and render a small batch.
  4. Check each output for text overflow, timing and audio.
  5. Automate renders in a pipeline and keep the data source versioned.

  • Agent loops can burn through paid API tokens quickly.
  • Check licences for fonts, music and stock images used in automated videos, and check the render tool's own licence terms for commercial use.
