Content Recap — Written Piece to Video
An editorial, deliberately quiet 34-second 9:16 recap of a single written piece — a blog post, newsletter issue, or press release turned into a Reel/Short. Seven scenes on an ink → photo → newsprint → ink rhythm: a title-page cover carrying the headline, one held hero image on a solid ink caption band, the four points that matter as full-page pull-quotes numbered 01–04 in cobalt, and a scannable close with a QR tile and the article URL. Newsreader serif for every word pulled from the piece, JetBrains Mono for all furniture, and a single cobalt accent used exactly four times in the whole video. Built for messy input: each text slot is a fixed box with a type ladder, so a six-word point and a twenty-five-word point both look set on purpose. Swap the seven per-post fields — headline, hero_image, point_1 through point_4, article_url and its qr_image — while publication_name is bound once per publisher, so an RSS item or CMS publish webhook renders a finished video per post and the same payload shape backfills an entire archive.

Point 1
Agency video runs $1,000 a minute. A template render runs twenty cents.
Point 2
63% of video marketers used AI tools this year, up from 51% the year before.
Point 3
Template assembly fits about 65% of business video jobs; hybrid pipelines take 25%, and only 10% genuinely need a model generating new pixels.
Point 4
Budget 2.5 words per second. A 30- second video holds 75 words, not a paragraph.

Frequently asked questions
How do I customize the Content Recap — Written Piece to Video template?
Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 9 customizable fields (such as Headline) 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. 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. Mark any field as a dynamic variable and call the Renderly API (or a no-code integration like Zapier) with a JSON payload to batch-render a unique video for every row of data.

News & Weather — Daily Morning Brief
A warm, broadcast-clean 38-second 16:9 daily morning-brief video — one edition rendered per day and sent to everyone (the dynamic fields are the data that changes each morning, not per-viewer). Seven scenes on a dusk-navy ↔ warm-paper rhythm: a "Good morning" open with the date, today's weather over a full-bleed backdrop (temperature, condition, high/low), a three-day forecast-card outlook, and the day's top three news stories (photo-split, mirrored, and full-bleed layouts), closing on a "See you tomorrow" sign-off. Sky-blue accent with a gold sunrise glow, Geist + JetBrains Mono type. Swap the 26 daily dynamic fields — edition date; current temp/condition/high-low + weather backdrop; three forecast days (day, high, low, condition); and three news stories (category, headline, photo) — to auto-render one finished brief every morning from a scheduled job that pulls a weather feed and the top headlines. Drop the trailing news scenes when fewer than three stories are available.
The Honest Job Ad — Deadpan Role Promo
The deadpan sibling of Job Ad Promo — same automatic one-video-per-role trigger, flipped voice: lime on deep spruce, Geist-only type, and "perks" reframed as Full Disclosure confessions that double as selling points. Seven scenes: a comic-beat hook ("Everything is fine.*" with a late-popping lime asterisk and a typed footnote), the role reveal with location and Full-time pills plus a "(yes, actually remote)" aside, a team scene with the team name in lime, three 1/3–3/3 disclosure cards, and a full-bleed lime Apply outro ("The servers miss you already."). Swap the same per-role dynamic fields as v1 — job_title, location_mode, team_name, perk_1/2/3, apply_url, and company_logo (auto-knocked-out to ink on lime). Write the disclosures as honest confessions, 8–14 words: admit something true, make it charming.
Job Ad Promo — Open Role Announcement
A playful, anti-corporate 34-second 16:9 job ad — one video per open role, built to render automatically when a job is published in your ATS (webhook → render → MP4 for the LinkedIn or career-page post). Seven scenes on an ink / warm-paper / yellow rhythm: a self-aware hook ("Yes, this is a job ad."), the role reveal with location and Full-time pills, a team scene with the team name highlighted in yellow, three numbered perk cards written like a human, and a full-bleed yellow Apply payoff with a pill CTA and short apply URL. Space Grotesk headlines with JetBrains Mono kickers. Swap the per-role dynamic fields — job_title, location_mode, team_name, perk_1/2/3, apply_url, and company_logo (shown on dark and auto-knocked-out to ink on the yellow outro) — to publish a finished video with every opening. Perk copy is the personality: admit something true, keep each one under ~90 characters.
