BEEP Engine · macOS & Windows · self-hosted

Automated video rendering for teams that need volume, not repetition.

BEEP Engine turns a single After Effects project into a production line. Register a template once, connect your data — a form, a spreadsheet, or an API — and produce hundreds or thousands of finished videos without anyone opening After Effects by hand.

BEEP Engine control panel

Overview

One template. Unlimited variations. Zero manual renders.

Register your After Effects project once and mark what changes between renders — headlines, images, colors, footage. Every variation after that is a few clicks or an automated trigger.

Renders run in the background. No one needs to sit at a workstation and babysit the queue. The same machine can serve producers entering data and a render pipeline working through the backlog.

If today's workflow is "open AE, edit, render, repeat" — BEEP Engine replaces that loop.

Who it's for

Built for teams that render at volume.

Marketing teams

Localized, personalized, and templated video at volume — social ads, product cards, name-in-video campaigns, daily reports.

Broadcast & news desks

Recurring, data-driven graphics on a fixed schedule — lower-thirds, weather, stock tickers, sports cards.

Creative agencies

Build a template once for a client and give the account team a non-technical way to render variations.

Internal tools teams

A programmable render service your other tools can drive — instead of operators manually rendering files one at a time.

What it does

From After Effects project to production line.

01
Feature 01

One template, unlimited variations

Upload your After Effects project once. Mark the fields that change row to row. Every render of that template is a few clicks — or fully automated.

  • Text, images, video, color, and layout fields
  • Swap source assets per variation
  • Reuse the same template across campaigns
Template registration and editable layers
Feature 02

Three ways to feed it data

Connect structured data however your team works — forms for teammates, spreadsheets for bulk rows, live API feeds, or one-off imports.

  • Forms for non-technical teammates
  • Spreadsheets — upload a CSV or Excel file
  • API feeds that refresh on demand or on schedule
  • Direct imports for quick integrations
Forms, spreadsheets, and API data sources
Feature 03

Truly headless rendering

Renders happen in the background. After Effects never takes over the screen — nothing pops up, nothing to dismiss.

  • No render windows blocking the workstation
  • The machine stays usable while jobs queue
  • Scale concurrency to match your hardware

Feature 04

Real-time queue with live logs

Watch every job progress in real time. Preview and download the moment a render finishes — and see exactly what went wrong when one doesn't.

  • Live progress for every job in the queue
  • Instant preview and download on completion
  • Clear error detail when something fails

Feature 05

Auto-discover saves hours of setup

Drop in a new project and BEEP Engine finds editable layers automatically — then proposes a ready-to-use template and data source in a single click.

  • Automatic detection of editable layers
  • One-click template setup
  • Bundle footage with your project upload

Feature 06

Scheduled workflows

Set renders to run on a recurring schedule — pull fresh data, render the graphics, deliver the output. Every run is logged so operations always knows what fired and what was produced.

  • Recurring daily, weekly, or custom schedules
  • Fresh data pulled before each run
  • Full history of every scheduled execution

Feature 07

Render Farm for ad-hoc work

Sometimes you just need an existing project rendered as-is — no template setup, no field mapping. Render Farm handles that.

  • Drop in any project and render
  • No template configuration required
  • Same queue, tracking, and delivery options

In production

Batch renders, review, and delivery.

See how teams go from template to finished output — upload, queue, review, and deliver.

How a typical setup looks

Five steps from template to delivery.

  1. Drop in a template. Upload your After Effects project. Auto-discover marks editable layers for you.
  2. Connect a data source. Set up a form, upload a spreadsheet, or link a live data feed.
  3. Create a profile. Pair your template with a data source — fields link automatically.
  4. Render. Queue all rows, a selection, or let your CMS trigger renders automatically.
  5. Receive the output. Download from the queue, get a webhook notification, or deliver to a watched folder.

A template that took 30 minutes to render manually now renders 100× in the time it takes to write a column of headlines.

Integrations

Fits into the tools you already use.

Your CMS, automation platform, internal dashboard, or customer-facing personalization service can all trigger renders the same way your team does in the panel.

  • API access — queue renders, check status, and manage templates programmatically
  • Secure authentication — per-user tokens with role-based permissions
  • Real-time updates — live job status for dashboards and custom interfaces
  • Webhooks on completion — automatic notification with output links when a render finishes
  • Watched-folder delivery — finished files land where your downstream tools expect them

Role-based access control
Security & access control

Your files. Your data. Your renders.

Self-hosted — your projects, fonts, data, and renders stay on your infrastructure. Nothing is sent to a third-party render service.

  • Role-based access — control who can manage templates, queue renders, and view reports
  • Team permissions — fine-grained control over what each role can do
  • Secure sign-in — individual accounts with managed access
  • Audit-friendly logging — full job history with one-click export
Reports & observability

Operations visibility in one view.

The Reports page gives operations a single view of production health — exportable for your own reporting tools.

  • Success rates and render volumes at a glance
  • Recent activity — last 24 hours and 7 days
  • Which templates are used most and how reliably they perform
  • Recent failures with enough detail to act on
  • Scheduled workflow activity

Self-hosted

Your infrastructure. Your rules.

BEEP Engine runs on your hardware alongside After Effects on macOS and Windows. There is no required cloud component, no telemetry, and no per-render fee. How you run it depends on your production — we can help you find the right fit for your team.

Discuss your setup

Frequently asked

Common questions about BEEP Engine.

Does it open After Effects on the machine?

No. Renders run in the background — nothing takes over the screen.

Can the machine still be used while renders are queued?

Yes. Renders run separately, so the workstation stays available for other work.

What output formats are supported?

Any format After Effects can produce — video, image sequences, and more. Configure defaults globally or per template.

Does it support team collaboration?

Yes. Multiple users with role-based permissions, a shared job queue, and notifications for everyone on the team.

What about fonts and footage?

Standard After Effects rules apply. Bundle footage with your project upload; install fonts on the render machine before registering a template.

How is it different from a render farm service?

Render farms render your file for you. BEEP Engine lets you turn your project into a templated service others can use — with no After Effects knowledge required.

Can I extend it?

Yes. A full API lets you integrate BEEP Engine into your existing tools and workflows.
