How-to guides
Practical, step-by-step guides for automating video with the Renderly API. Each one starts from a template that already renders, so you can ship the workflow the same day.
Connect a data source
Turn rows, records and spreadsheets into finished videos.
Airtable to Video: Automate Video Creation from a Base
Turn Airtable records into finished videos automatically. Connect a base to the Renderly API, map fields to template variables, and render every row without opening an editor.
Bulk Video from CSV: Generate One Video per Row
Turn a CSV export into finished videos. Map headers to template variables, send one render request per row from a resumable script, and collect every result.
Google Sheets to Video: Automate Video Creation from a Sheet
Turn spreadsheet rows into finished videos. Connect a Google Sheet to the Renderly API with Apps Script, map columns to variables, and render every row.
Notion to Video: Automate Video Creation from a Database
Turn Notion database pages into finished videos. Connect an integration, unwrap the typed properties into template variables, and render every row automatically.
Social and creator workflows
Automate the formats that ship daily.
Automate Instagram Reels: One Template, One Row per Post
Run a Reels account off a spreadsheet. Lock one format, keep a row per post, and render the week in a single pass for half a credit a video.
Automate TikTok Videos: Render the Recurring Post on a Schedule
Automate the TikTok post you repeat, not the idea. Pull this week's data from the system that already holds it, render one vertical video on a cron, then post it.
Faceless YouTube Shorts Automation: Render a Month of Uploads
Run a faceless Shorts channel from a spreadsheet. Lock one format, write a batch of facts, add an AI voiceover, and render a month of uploads in one pass.
By industry
Ready-made templates for a specific job.
Automated Job Ad Video: One Render per Open Role
Render a 34-second job ad from eight fields in your ATS. One video per requisition, the same design every time, one credit each, published before a designer opens a file.
Automated News Video Generation: One Edition Every Morning
Render a daily news and weather brief from feeds instead of from a script. One edition a morning, 26 fields, one credit, and nothing to review before it ships.
Automated Sports Recap Video: One Card for Every Fixture
Render a full-time scorecard from a league feed, not from footage. One card per fixture, 26 fields, one credit, published before anyone opens an editor.
