After Effects Integration
Import your Rendomat video exports directly into After Effects. Preserves layer structure, text styling, animations, and timing.
What gets imported
Text layers
Wrapping box text, per-word color, tracking
Shapes
Editable rect/ellipse fill, stroke, corners; SVGs import as native shapes
Motion transfer
Enter/exit, loops, keyframes, bar-growth Size animation, bezier easing
Components
Semantic placeholders with markers naming the component and its props
Italics
Real italic faces for stress phrases (AE 23+)
Placeholders
Images and charts as solids to relink or redraw
Installation
Quick way to try the plugin without installation.
Makes the script available from After Effects menus.
Best for frequent use. Adds a dockable panel.
Usage
Export from Rendomat
On any video page, use the “Export to AE” option to download the JSON manifest or self-contained JSX script.
Run the importer
Recommended: choose the self-contained JSX export and run it via File → Scripts → Run Script File (no install, no separate JSON). It builds compositions with your scenes, text, shapes, and animations. Then relink image placeholders and redraw any chart or component placeholders (their markers carry the details).
Troubleshooting
Script won't run
Enable “Allow Scripts to Write Files” in AE Preferences → Scripting & Expressions. The importer is a single self-contained .jsx file; no library folder is needed.
Fonts don't match
Install the deck's fonts (e.g. Instrument Serif, Open Sans). AE matches by PostScript name, not CSS family. The export resolves common faces, but install the real font and re-pick it in the Character panel if a layer falls back to a substitute.
Timing is off
Verify FPS matches between your Remotion export and the AE composition. Check in/out points on individual layers.
Missing animations
Spring motion imports as sampled keyframes, so it carries over. Complex custom expressions may still need manual recreation in AE.
