Solution Overview

part.io is based on nodes. That means that, rather than relying on nested layers, part.io represents the video editing as a graph of individual building blocks (aka nodes). Each of these nodes represents a certain step in the workflow - like adding additional input, editing an input in a certain way (like trimming or adjusting audio levels), or combining two inputs in a certain way (like cross-fading or stacking on input over the other). By connecting these nodes you build your final video step by step. If you want to add an existing video asset, just add a Video Asset node. If you want to trim that video asset, just add a Trim node and connect the video asset to the trim. If you want to add a lower third that you have as HTML, just add the HTML node and connect the output of the trim to the HTML node. As simple as that these steps can be combined in any order, allowing you to create the effects you want.

What makes part.io even better is the fact that it's a pure cloud-based service. We don't care about the GPU of your computer, it's all happening in the cloud. You can start as many jobs as you want to in parallel, do something else for a few hours or have a good night's sleep - everything will be ready when you return. And with the extensive part.io API yu can even connect your system with ours. So there's no need for any manual effort at all - you can automatically generate the videos you need with a click of a button.

Last, but not least part.io allows you to work with variables. If you have multiple similar editing workflows you just need to define your node tree once and use variables rather than fixed values. part.io automatically filles these variables with values that you predefine. So, if you want to show the address of your indepentent sales reps in the closing of your newest image clip - just add the respective node, upload a spreadsheet with all addresses, lay back and wait for the hundreds (or thousands) of individual videos to finish.
