Award & Recognition Announcement
A composed "we won something" film built as a citation rather than a firework: the award, the category, the issuing body, the year, and one restrained sentence saying why. Five scenes over 33 seconds at 1920x1080 (16:9), alternating deep ink and champagne grounds with award gold used as an engraver's line — a 1px certificate frame inset 54px on every frame, hairline rules, and a drawn seal that carries the year at 300px on the opener, 150px as a stamp beside the recipient, and 200px on the close. Ten fields swap per render: announcement_label (the flex knob — AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT / CERTIFICATION / RANKING / TEN YEARS), issuing_body, year_label, award_name, category_name, citation_line, recipient_name, recipient_line, website_line, and recipient_photo (the one photographic beat, a right-hand panel under a left-to-right ink scrim with a slow 1.06x push). One row per winner in a spreadsheet becomes one film per winner, each with its own name set in 104px Bodoni instead of a shared PNG.

Frequently asked questions
How do I customize the Award & Recognition Announcement template?
Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 10 customizable fields (such as Announcement Label) with your own text, images, or video. Every change previews instantly before you render.
How much does it cost to render this template?
Rendering is credit-based - 1 credit equals 1 minute of 1080p video, billed by the second. You only pay when you export, and credits never expire on the pay-as-you-go plan.
Can I generate this video at scale via the API?
Yes. POST this template's ID and a replacements object to /api/v1/renders - one call per row of data, 10 fields swappable per video. Send the same body to /api/v1/previews first to check it for free. No-code integrations like Zapier work the same way.

Earnings Report Card
A wire-service style quarterly earnings card for one company: the headline, revenue against last year and consensus, net income and diluted EPS, full-year guidance, and a closing four-row results table. Comparisons carry their sign in the value and are never colour-coded, so a miss reads as calmly as a beat. 22 seconds, 16:9 (1920x1080). Dynamic fields: publisher_name, quarter_label, company_name, ticker_line, report_date, headline, revenue_value, revenue_change, revenue_estimate, income_value, income_change, eps_value, eps_estimate, guidance_label, guidance_value, guidance_note. Built to render for hundreds of companies off an earnings feed every reporting season.

Product Launch Motion Reel
A beat-synced motion-graphics launch reel, built entirely with Renderly's motion engine: keyframe tracks, scene groups with camera moves, motion blur on whips, a typed code card, a 24-tile video wall and step counters, all cut to a 125 BPM music track with sound effects on the hits. 15 seconds, 16:9 (1920x1080). Dynamic fields on the end card: brand_name, headline and cta_url. Open it as a reference for building your own motion templates - every move is plain overlay JSON.

Market Close Card
A terminal-style daily market card for one index, ticker or coin: where it closed, how far it moved and which way in gain green, loss red or flat grey, the session range, three movers and the next session. 24 seconds, 16:9 (1920x1080). Dynamic fields: session_date, session_label, asset_name, asset_symbol, close_value, change_up / change_down / change_flat (fill one, send a single space for the others), open_value, high_value, low_value, prev_close, mover_1-3_symbol, mover_1-3_price, mover_1-3_up / mover_1-3_down, next_session and publisher_name. Built to render unattended off a price feed every session.
