AFTER EFFECTS & PREMIERE PRO · BROADCAST DELIVERY

Endboards built and delivered while you do the edit.

EndFrame reads your transmission schedule, matches every title to its key art, builds the endboard in After Effects, assembles the tail in Premiere, and writes every delivery filename to your broadcaster's exact spec.

WHY IT CAN BE TRUSTED WITH SOMETHING THAT GOES TO AIR

It would rather stop than be wrong.

It flags what it is unsure about, instead of guessing

Every title is matched to its key art with a confidence read, and anything doubtful is held back for you rather than quietly rendered. A wrong date or another show's artwork reaching playout is not a small mistake, and it is not one you find until somebody outside the building sees it.

Your template, not ours

Point it at your own project. It reads the comps, proposes what each layer should hold, and you correct anything it got wrong. Nothing to rebuild and no house style imposed on you.

Forty titles is the same work as one

The batch renders unattended, the tail is assembled in Premiere, and every file lands named to your delivery spec. You come back to finished work, not a queue.

WHAT IT DOES

Two halves of one delivery pipeline. Bought separately.

The After Effects half builds the boards. The Premiere half preps the job and ships the delivery. Most editors live in one or the other, so you buy the half you actually work in, and only pay for both if you run the whole chain yourself.

After Effects

EndFrame for After Effects

Builds the boards, from schedule to rendered file.

  • Reads your transmission schedule however it arrives: any column names, dates without a month, a whole slot written as one sentence
  • Matches every title to its key art and shows a confidence read for each
  • Holds anything it is unsure about instead of rendering it wrong
  • Contact sheet to eyeball the artwork before a single frame renders
  • Fills your own template: title, date, time, artwork
  • Long titles fitted automatically, never overflowing or losing a word
  • A new title's premiere and showing boards in one pass, with its logo or its name set as text
  • Numbered list boards, ranked from a simple sheet
  • Any comp in any project, mapped once and saved as a preset
  • Point a layer at any column in your schedule, even one we have never seen
  • Renders the whole batch unattended
  • Your output module and format: ProRes, H.264, .mov or .mp4
  • Every file named to your delivery spec
$45 / month See pricing
Premiere Pro

EndFrame for Premiere Pro

Preps the job, assembles the tail, ships the delivery.

  • Turns a flat folder of raw clips into per title bins and sequences
  • Ordered and named from your schedule before you start cutting
  • Appends the tail: endboard, the right ident for that strand, your closing bumper
  • Rebuilds the tail cleanly when a promo changes length
  • Batch rename and export to your convention, mixed categories in one pass
  • Flags anything that needs a human before it reaches playout
  • Undo for anything it moved or created
  • Imports finished boards straight from the After Effects side
  • A board still missing? One click has After Effects render it, then brings it in
  • The whole job grouped week by week from your schedule
$45 / month See pricing

Running the full chain yourself? The two halves hand off to each other: boards rendered on the After Effects side are picked up automatically by the Premiere side. Take both for $69 a month rather than $90.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps, in the order the job actually runs

Nothing uploads anywhere. Everything happens inside the Adobe app you already work in.

STEP 01

Point it at the schedule

Give it your schedule file and your key art folder. It reads the column names your schedule already uses, so nothing has to be reformatted first.

After Effects
STEP 02

Check what it flagged

Every title is matched to its art and shown with a confidence read. Anything uncertain is held back for you to confirm, rather than quietly rendered wrong.

After Effects
STEP 03

Assemble and deliver

The tail goes onto each promo, every file is named to spec, and the batch exports. What reaches playout is already correct.

Premiere Pro
TRY IT FIRST

7 days, both halves, no card

Download it and it runs for 7 days from the first time you open it, with the After Effects and Premiere sides both unlocked. Decide which half you need after you have actually used it, not before.

Download for macOS & Windows

One download covers both apps and both platforms. Installing it once puts the panel in After Effects and Premiere Pro, on macOS or Windows — there is no separate download for each, and your licence key is entered once for both. Install it with ZXP Installer, or use the .zip if you would rather run a plain installer — it carries one for each platform.

After Effects and Premiere Pro 2022 or later. Setting up and using it, step by step: the EndFrame guide (PDF).

BEFORE YOU BUY

What it needs, stated plainly

Better you know now than after paying.

Applications
After Effects and Premiere Pro 2022 or later. The panel docks inside the app you already work in.
Platform
macOS and Windows. The panel is the same on both; only the installer differs, and the download carries one for each.
Your template
EndFrame drives your own endboard template, whatever is in it. It reads the template, proposes what each layer should be filled with, and you confirm it once.
FOR YOUR IT TEAM

Four questions, answered before you ask

Does any of our material leave the building?
None of it. Your schedules, artwork, footage, project files, renders and delivery filenames stay on the machine — EndFrame reads them and drives After Effects and Premiere locally. Two things do go out, and nothing else: a check for a newer version, and a licence check that sends the licence key and a machine identifier so a licence covering a set number of editors can be counted. The machine identifier is a one-way hash, so it identifies the machine to us only as a number and cannot be turned back into anything about it. There is no analytics, no telemetry and no account to sign into.
Does it need internet access?
Yes, at least once a week, and this one is worth passing to whoever manages your firewall. A licensed panel must reach backtime.tools over HTTPS (port 443) successfully once every 7 days. In between it works fully offline, so an outage, a location shoot or a locked-down afternoon costs you nothing. But a machine that can never reach it will stop running new jobs after 7 days, with a notice asking for a connection. If some of your bays are permanently offline, tell us before you buy rather than after.
Is the extension signed?
Yes. The panel ships as a signed ZXP, so Adobe's extension loader accepts it without putting the machine into debug mode. An unsigned zip is included as well, for the known Adobe installer issue on some versions.
What happens if the licence lapses?
The panel stops running new jobs. Everything it has already made is an ordinary After Effects project and ordinary Premiere sequences, which keep working with or without EndFrame installed. Nothing you have delivered depends on us.
