Hey guys,

Our company is looking to develop a new product that allow users to open After Effects projects in web browser, modify them and rendering them as video files.

Currently, we developed a script to export After Effects project infos to json files so that they can be load by web browsers. But we have find any solution to automatically render projects on cloud servers.

So, is there a plugin that can response to http requests and act according to the request command params?

Thanks!

Not sure if I fully get what you are after, but why would you need a plugin for this?

It seems you simply have to set up a webserver that receives these project files and then calls AE (or probably better the headless AERender from the command line) with the files to render out these projects.

However, if that all is covered by Adobe's licensing contracts is for someone else to judge though...
