Work has begun on Backbeat’s next generation After Effects rendering robot. The Render Kit will feature a customisable CMS where users can moderate their content before rendering, and have remote control over AE projects and render job templates. We’re also building it with containerisation in mind for multiple simultaneous renders in the cloud.

We’re working with a potential customer, with a use case that requires listening to an incoming data feed from a live sports event, and posting customised video clips to social media based on the results.
