Render a video for every row
Add a flow to a batch so each row becomes its own video, and know the credit cost first.
A flow joins some of a template's pages into one video. Add it to a batch and every row of your sheet renders as its own video.
What you need
- A template with a flow. See Build your first flow.
- Your sheet. Rows use the same columns as the pages in the flow.
- An idea of the cost, below.
What it costs
An image costs 1 render credit. A video costs 1 credit for each second of its length. A video larger than 1920 x 1080 costs more in proportion to its size, and the total is rounded up, with a minimum of 1. A flow renders at most 60 seconds: a longer one is not refused, but only its first 60 seconds are rendered and charged. See Motion templates.
| Flow | Rows | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 15 seconds at 1080 x 1080 | 1 | 15 |
| 15 seconds at 1080 x 1080 | 5 | 75 |
Videos use many more credits than images. Test with one row before you run the whole sheet.
Steps
Start the batch
Open Batches → New Batch, select the template and choose Continue, then add your data. See Fill a template from a spreadsheet.
Add the flow
A template's flows appear as tabs named Flow: ..., but they start out of the batch. Open the + menu, which reads Add flow. Under Flows, one video per row, choose your flow. A tab appears with its row count, size and Motion.
Check the columns
A flow reads the columns of its pages: page1@Title, page2@Title and so on, or a plain Title for pages without their own. If you already filled several pages, the flow uses the same columns. See Fill several pages from one sheet.
Choose the video format
Open the Format cell of a row. A flow offers video formats only: MP4, GIF or WebP (an animated loop). The format does not change the price. Use MP4 for ads and stories.
Decide whether to keep the page images
The flow's pages are also tabs. Close the page tabs with their x if you want videos only, or keep them to make an image of every page too. Each page adds 1 credit for every row.
Create, publish and run
Choose Create Batch, turn on Publish straight away, and run it from Batches → Published. The run confirmation shows Required Credits, split into images and videos. See Run a batch and collect the files.
Check the result
In the batch's Details, each row has a job marked with its video format, and Success once it renders. Play one before you hand them out.
The commonest mistake is running the full sheet first. Paste the header and one row on the data step, run that batch, check the video and its cost, then make the full one. The live preview is watermarked, and the finished videos are not.
