In 2020 we realized just how hard video creation really is. Most of the time you’re not creating the next Superbowl ad - you just need a good video, on brand, and ready fast. At the time we were juggling side projects and freelancing, and Nebojsa was working as a motion designer, so we saw firsthand how slow and manual the process can be. That’s when the idea for Plainly was born. To test if people even wanted this, we posted on Indie Hackers offering free promo videos. We thought maybe a few people would respond. Instead, over 150 founders asked for one in just a single day. That gave us our first big validation. People didn’t mind that the videos were templated, they just wanted a simple way to get them done. From there we started building. We created an API, added support for After Effects templates, and step by step made it possible to generate videos automatically at scale. Today Plainly is a video automation platform that helps companies in media, real estate, eCom and more produce personalized videos continuously without the heavy manual work. Video is more in demand than ever, and we’re excited to help businesses keep up.
