Designers stuck on routine work
Every day, designers re-type weather numbers, swap sponsor logos and export the same trailer in five versions. It is repetitive work that eats creative time, and every manual step is a chance for an on-air mistake.
SmartRender v3 graphics automation for TV channels
Your graphics team designs. Everyone else produces.
SmartRender turns your After Effects templates into web forms. Producers create daily broadcast graphics through a simple form, without opening a design tool, and your designers get their time back.
Why SmartRender
Less repetition. Fewer on-air mistakes.
Design once, produce every day
Designers build the template once. SmartRender exposes only the fields that change, with built-in help and a live field map, so anyone in the newsroom or sales team can produce on-brand graphics.
