Open House This Weekend
The card an agent posts on Thursday for every property with a viewing that weekend — an event card rather than a listing, where the property is context and the timing is the message. Five scenes at 1080x1920 (9:16 vertical), 19 seconds at 30fps: a rubber-stamped OPEN HOUSE badge slams over the exterior photo with the address and viewing window readable at feed-thumbnail size, then the viewing time stated at 196px poster scale, then the three practical objections answered (which Saturday, no RSVP needed, free street parking), one interior beat, and a close on the agent's face with a phone number that holds still for the final second. Nineteen dynamic fields swap per render: status_label (the stamp word), status_value and status_value_label (the viewing window and its caption), property_photo, property_photo_2 and agent_photo, property_address, property_locality and property_specs, three stat_N_value / stat_N_label pairs carrying date, access and parking, plus agent_name, agent_title, agent_contact and closing_line. It shares all nineteen field names and the full visual skin with its sibling just-sold-status-card, so one listing row drives both cards and a weekly job can render one MP4 per property with a viewing in the next four days.

Frequently asked questions
How do I customize the Open House This Weekend template?
Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 19 customizable fields (such as Property Photo) 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, 19 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.

Real Estate Listing - Golden Hour 9:16
A 24-second vertical luxury listing film (1080x1920, 30fps) for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, cut to a 110 BPM cinematic house track with five quiet sound effects. It is built on a blue-hour navy ground with cream type, a coral to amber sunset gradient and a teal accent, set in Outfit. Five scenes: a full-bleed hero pulls back on the beat under a tilted JUST LISTED tape, the property name and location; three rooms arrive one per bar as tilted photo cards over coral, amber and teal colour floods; the bedrooms, baths and living area land as three stat cards on a sunset iris; a night view carries the tagline and an amber price band where the price rises out of the band; the end card pairs the agent, the brokerage, a call to action button and the contact line on a cream bottom sheet. Every text holds still once it lands, and every scene wipes in over the last, so no frame is ever empty. 20 fields swap per render: property_name (up to 14 characters, 2 lines), location_label (up to 38), room_1_label, room_2_label and room_3_label (up to 17), bedrooms_value, baths_value and size_value (up to 6, for example 12,500), size_unit (up to 11), tagline (up to about 100 characters), price (up to 12, for example $128,500,000), agent_name (up to 20), brokerage_name (up to 43), cta_label (up to 36), agent_contact (up to 33), and five photos (photo_hero, photo_room_1, photo_room_2, photo_room_3, photo_view). Every photo is a cover crop, so listing photos of any size fit. Fill every text field: an empty value renders placeholder text. The same 20 names are used by the 16:9 version.
Real Estate Listing - Golden Hour 16:9
A 24-second landscape luxury listing film (1920x1080, 30fps) for YouTube, listing portals and websites, cut to a 110 BPM cinematic house track with five quiet sound effects. It is built on a blue-hour navy ground with cream type, a coral to amber sunset gradient and a teal accent, set in Outfit. Five scenes: a full-bleed hero pulls back on the beat under a tilted JUST LISTED tape, the property name and location; three rooms arrive one per bar as tilted photo cards over coral, amber and teal colour floods; the bedrooms, baths and living area land as three stat cards on a sunset iris; a night view carries the tagline and an amber price band where the price rises out of the band; the end card pairs the agent, the brokerage, a call to action button and the contact line on a cream side panel. Every text holds still once it lands, and every scene wipes in over the last, so no frame is ever empty. 20 fields swap per render: property_name (up to 16 characters, 2 lines), location_label (up to 44), room_1_label, room_2_label and room_3_label (up to 14), bedrooms_value and baths_value (up to 8), size_value (up to 9), size_unit (up to 11), tagline (up to about 110 characters), price (up to 19), agent_name (up to 16), brokerage_name (up to 30), cta_label (up to 26), agent_contact (up to 29), and five photos (photo_hero, photo_room_1, photo_room_2, photo_room_3, photo_view). Every photo is a cover crop, so listing photos of any size fit. Fill every text field: an empty value renders placeholder text. The same 20 names are used by the 9:16 version.
Rental Listing — Apartment
A deliberately un-cinematic letting card for a flat going on the market — a fact sheet with a photograph attached, built so a lettings agency can render one video per available unit straight from a property-management feed (Reapit, Alto, Arthur, Goodlord) and repost the set as rents move and dates roll forward. 26 seconds, 1080x1920 (9:16), five hard-cut scenes that alternate graphite and cool white so every cut is also a value flip: the hero photo with the rent inside the first five seconds, a no-photograph numbers frame (beds, baths, floor area, furnishing, neighbourhood) built to be screenshotted, two labelled interiors, an honest money-and-dates frame (deposit, minimum term, council tax and EPC in plain words), and a closing spec ledger over a cyan "Book a viewing" band. Twenty dynamic fields swap per render: address_line, area_line, reference_code, listing_photo_1/2/3, photo_2_label, photo_3_label, rent_amount, rent_period, deposit_line, term_line, bills_line, beds_value, baths_value, size_value, furnishing_value, available_date, agency_name and contact_line — every one of them a column in a property feed, with rent passed preformatted (the template never formats a number) and the three term lines left as free text so a non-UK agency can put anything in them.
