Hotel Room-Type Showcase
A tiered room-type card for hotels — one video per room category rather than per property, so a fifty-room hotel with five room types renders it five times and gets a card for every rate plan on its booking engine and every OTA listing. It runs 34 seconds at 16:9 (1920×1080, 30fps) across six scenes that follow the order a guest actually decides in: the room itself, where it sits in the property's own ladder, what it adds over the tier below, size and occupancy, the view, then the nightly rate and a book-direct CTA. The signature beat is scene 02, a three-rung ladder of the property's own room types with the current tier filled in solid hospitality green, which is what lets one hotel's near-identical room photography still read as five distinct rooms. Twenty-two fields swap per render: nineteen text — hotel_name, hotel_location, room_type_name, tier_position, tier_below_name, tier_above_name, upgrade_1/2/3, size_value, sleeps_value, bed_value, view_value, room_tagline, rate_label, rate_note, direct_benefit, cta_label, cta_detail — and three images: photo_room (the hero shot, reused on the closing card), photo_detail (what the tier adds) and photo_view. It renders straight off a PMS room-type table, so a seasonal rate change re-renders the video without anyone editing one. Ivory and warm charcoal alternate scene to scene; Cormorant Garamond carries every statement line, Work Sans the human copy, JetBrains Mono all furniture.

Frequently asked questions
How do I customize the Hotel Room-Type Showcase template?
Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 22 customizable fields (such as Photo Room) 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, 22 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.

Vacation Rental Listing - Alpine Winter
A 30-second 16:9 listing film (1920x1080) for a ski chalet, cut to a calm 104 BPM track, on a pine-charcoal ground with ember-orange rules and Instrument Serif headlines. Five scenes sell it in the order a booking gets made: the destination, the view, the rooms, the essentials, then the rate and where to book. Every photo gets its own slow camera move while the text holds still once it lands: the hero pushes in under the property name, the view pans in a wide strip, the three room photos pan inside fixed tiles, the guests, bedrooms and baths figures arrive on the beat, and the end card pairs the price and booking link with the hero photo. Each scene wipes in over the last, so no frame is ever empty. Point it at a property feed to render one video per listing. 24 fields swap per render, with the same names in the alpine, city and sun-warmed versions, so a rental platform maps its feed once and picks a look per property: property_name, location_label, rating_label, property_tagline, room_1_label, room_2_label, room_3_label, guests_value, bedrooms_value, baths_value, amenity_1, amenity_2, amenity_3, availability_label, price_label, price_note, cta_label, cta_detail, and six photos (photo_hero, photo_view, photo_room_1, photo_room_2, photo_room_3, photo_pool). Every photo is a cover crop, so host photos of any size fit.
Vacation Rental Listing - City Apartment
A 28-second vertical listing film (1080x1920, 9:16) for a city apartment, built for Instagram and TikTok and cut to a 102 BPM track, with near-black and concrete grounds, safety-yellow accents and Archivo Black headlines. Five scenes: the hero, the window, the rooms, the neighbourhood, then the price and where to book. Every photo gets its own slow camera move while the text holds still once it lands: the hero pushes in under the property name, the view pans in its own band, the three room photos pan inside fixed tiles, the guests, bedrooms and baths figures arrive on the beat, and the end card pairs the price and booking link with the hero photo. Each scene wipes in over the last, so no frame is ever empty. Nothing important sits low in the frame, so platform captions never cover a word. 24 fields swap per render, with the same names in the alpine, city and sun-warmed versions, so a rental platform maps its feed once and picks a look per property: property_name, location_label, rating_label, property_tagline, room_1_label, room_2_label, room_3_label, guests_value, bedrooms_value, baths_value, amenity_1, amenity_2, amenity_3, availability_label, price_label, price_note, cta_label, cta_detail, and six photos (photo_hero, photo_view, photo_room_1, photo_room_2, photo_room_3, photo_pool). Every photo is a cover crop, so host photos of any size fit.
Vacation Rental Listing - Sun-Warmed
A 30-second 16:9 listing film (1920x1080) for a beachfront rental, cut to a warm 105 BPM track, on a deep-ocean ink and warm-sand palette with a sun-gold accent and Prata headlines. Five scenes sell it in the order a booking gets made: the destination, the view, the rooms, the essentials, then the price and where to book. Every photo gets its own slow camera move while the text holds still once it lands: the hero pushes in under the property name, the view pans in a wide strip, the three room photos pan inside fixed tiles, the guests, bedrooms and baths figures arrive on the beat, and the end card pairs the price and booking link with the hero photo. Each scene wipes in over the last, so no frame is ever empty. Point it at a property feed to render one video per listing, and render again when the rate or the season changes. 24 fields swap per render, with the same names in the alpine, city and sun-warmed versions, so a rental platform maps its feed once and picks a look per property: property_name, location_label, rating_label, property_tagline, room_1_label, room_2_label, room_3_label, guests_value, bedrooms_value, baths_value, amenity_1, amenity_2, amenity_3, availability_label, price_label, price_note, cta_label, cta_detail, and six photos (photo_hero, photo_view, photo_room_1, photo_room_2, photo_room_3, photo_pool). Every photo is a cover crop, so host photos of any size fit.
