title: After Effects as backend movie engine?
body: <p>I'm working right now on a project that could allow me to generate movies based on the user input. User will upload some samples (photos, movies) to the web app and web server should generate movie based on that input and some predefined movie compositions.</p>
  
  <p>I know that there are plenty of libraries for ffmpeg that could let me connect movies, photos programmatically (for example <a href="https://github.com/schaermu/node-fluent-ffmpeg" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/schaermu/node-fluent-ffmpeg</a> for node.js) , but I was wondering if it's possible to use Aftereffects for that purpose since I have some knowledge in that software. I imagine that there should be set of scripts in Aftereffects that could import user uploaded data, fire the movie renderer and save output to the given location.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Do you think this is achievable using Aftereffects? Or maybe someone had similar problem and solved that differently ?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Cheers!</p>
