Factories figured out assembly lines a century ago.
Creative teams are still making every asset one by one.

Plainly Flows brings the assembly line to creative production. A single system that connects creative tools you use in automated workflows so you can scale your creative output.

1. Combine your creative tools, GenAI, and templates - mix and match them like building blocks to create workflows that automate repetitive design work.

2. Hand off work through forms - teammates or clients fill in a form, the workflow runs in the background, and they get a ready-to-use asset back automatically.

3. Add approval steps wherever you need them - route assets to legal, creative, or regional leads, and nothing moves until everyone signs off.

Flows is in closed beta with a limited number of spots.
If you think you or your tram can benefit from it - comment FLOWS and I'll send you the link.

Honest review of the Higgsfield AI plugin for Adobe After Effects.

I put 5 of its mini tools to the test to see if they actually fit into a motion designer’s workflow.

The results were quite surprising 👀

Strong start of April for creative industry 👇

1️⃣ After Effects just got a massive beta update - Object Matte. Think Roto Brush, but way smarter. One click, and it selects your subject with clean edges.

If you've ever spent hours rotoscoping frame by frame - this might save your sanity. And your deadlines.

2️⃣ Adobe is trying to cover the full marketing scope - not just the creative part.

Adobe Summit 2026 dropped, and they announced 10 new AI agents for things like site optimization, analytics, and targeting.

There's even something called "Brand Concierge" - basically an AI that talks to your customers FOR you.

3️⃣ The hottest design trend of 2026?
Looking human.

Canva's trend report - based on over 260 million users - says DIY and collage aesthetics are up 90%. Searches for "imperfect" and "handmade" are through the roof. When everything looks AI-generated, looking human becomes the flex.

Kind of poetic, isn't it?

After Effects is ridiculously hard…
�…if you don't know how to do things properly.

Just look at this dynamic pie chart.�There are zero keyframes here. I move one slider and the whole pie animates.
�I can even choose how many slices I want to show.
�Just remember, fewer slices doesn’t mean fewer calories.�You gotta watch that body of yours!

Change a few numbers here, and the slices and labels shift automatically.�You can rescale the whole pie, make the slices chubby, or even change colors.

BTW I published a full YouTube step-by-step tutorial showing exactly how to build this.

Here’s how to use Adobe After Effects to render 820 NBA Game Matchup videos in 10 minutes.

You’ll need an After Effects template and a spreadsheet with 82 data sets, one row for every game an NBA team plays during the regular season. Prepare and optimize your rendering compositions in the project file: vomitory screens, main boards, LED ribbons, social media promos, and so on.

Use the Plainly Videos plugin to upload the project file to Plainly. Plainly is a video automation tool we will use to connect our spreadsheet and an After Effects template to render 820 video versions.

In Plainly, create templates from your rendering compositions, which is pretty easy when you use the auto parameterization feature.

Upload the spreadsheet as a CSV file to Plainly and select all 10 templates. Plainly will automatically link columns from the spreadsheet with dynamic layers from the After Effects project file.

Set up the output format if needed, preview the data, and hit render.

Since Plainly renders everything in the cloud, it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to render all 820 videos.

Once the whole batch render is done, you will get 820 game matchup videos ready to lift the whole arena up.
