Renderforest

Renderforest is a template factory: intros, explainers, logo animations and slideshows, each filled in with your own footage and text. Nothing made in it will look custom, and for a channel that needs a title sequence by Thursday that is the point. Credits meter what you can generate, so the plan you need depends on output rather than on features.

A free plan exists with watermarked, length-limited exports. Lite is $8 a month billed annually with 4,800 credits a year and 720p exports. Pro is $12 for the first year and $24 after, with 19,200 credits, 1080p exports and a website on a custom domain. Business is $34.30 for the first year and $49 after. Credits are spent on generation and the page prints what each model costs, so the plan to pick follows from output rather than from features.

Creators and small businesses who need a decent-looking title sequence or explainer this week and have no motion designer. Anybody whose brand depends on looking unlike everyone else should not build it from a template library.
