Templates are built using standard mogrt files, just install the desktop app and drop mogrt files in your sync folder and they'll instantly be online and ready for anyone you invite to input data and media.
Create data driven video sets
Video versioning made effortless. Need to create the same video in multiple languages? How about hundreds of videos, each containing different text and graph data? Through the online editor anyone can generate large sets of customized videos driven by spreadsheet data.
How it works.
For more in-depth details, check out the docs.
-
Sign up and download the free desktop app
Download and install the free desktop app, log in, and set your sync folder location.
-
Make an online template
An online template is simply a collection of mogrt files. Make a folder in your sync folder and add your mogrt files to it, you have now made a template that will be synced to the online editor. These mogrts can optionally be further extended through the use of Modk commands.
-
Invite others to use your template
Invite someone by entering their email address in the templates settings with the desktop app, they can now open this template in the online editor where they'll see all the templates mogrts, edit their properties, and arrange them in sequence to create videos.
-
Rendering edits
The desktop app runs in the system tray and will detect when an editor has requested a render, this will automatically render the edit and send a download link to the user once complete. With the desktop app you can also choose to render any edits yourself or output edits to After Effects to make manual adjustments.
Download the free desktop app
The desktop app syncs your mogrts to the online editor and integrates with After Effects.

1.9.39 - Dec 21, 2021
- Can set app to automatically install new updates, as opposed to only installing on next app restart.
- Can define custom output locations for each deck in the deck settings; Define where the aep files are output to when a render is requested for a deck. This feature replaces the now removed setting "Give each deck own watch folder"
- Background AE on MacOS now executes AE differently; MoDeck was previously launching a background version of AE to use, but in the latest version of AE that background version gets automatically closed, so MoDeck now runs a different executable of AE which now appears in the dock, it should behave the same as previous.
- When rendering many videos with spreadsheet data, the app now outputs many aeps, one for each row, it previously output one aep with many comps at it's root. Using multiple aeps corrects for some clashing that can occur with reused comps in a single project, and prevents creating one overly bloated aep is there is a lot of data, in a future release these aeps will be delogated between watch folder to allow for sharing render load between machines.
