Try it with your own copy
Edit a field and the frame re-renders in your browser. No account, no credits - previews are free because they cost a browser paint, not a render.
What you can customize
This template exposes 3 dynamic fields you can swap per video - edit them in the editor or pass them to the API to batch-render variations at scale. The monospace name is the exact key to send in replacements.

1. Preview it — free
Same body as a render. Costs no credits, creates no job. Returns a public URL that plays the video in a browser, plus a list of problems with your payload — a mistyped key is otherwise ignored in silence.
curl -X POST https://renderly.video/api/v1/previews \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERLY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"templateId": "welcome-video-2",
"replacements": {
"first_name": "Sarah",
"code_snippet": "curl -X POST https://api.renderly.video/v1/renders \\\n -H \"Authorization: Bearer sk_live_••••\" \\\n -d '\''{\n \"template\": \"welcome\",\n \"vars\": {\n \"name\": \"Sarah\",\n \"company\": \"Renderly\"\n }\n }'\''",
"company": "Renderly"

Change one word in the URL. Keep templateId — it is what links your call to this template, so later improvements reach you automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How do I customize the Personalized Welcome Video template?
Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 3 customizable fields (such as First Name) 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. POST this template's ID and a replacements object to /api/v1/renders - one call per row of data, 3 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.

Personal Portfolio Statement
A calm, private monthly statement video a broker, robo-advisor or pension provider renders for each customer: what you have at month end, what the market did, what you added, the month as a ledger that adds up, and where the full statement lives, closing on a compliance line. 32 seconds, 16:9 (1920x1080). No green or red and no arrows, so a down month reads with the same dignity as an up month. Dynamic fields: provider_name, client_name, account_label, period_label, closing_value, opening_value, market_change, market_change_pct, contributions, contributions_ytd, fees, contact_line and compliance_line, all passed preformatted with their sign.
Test Drive Invitation
A 23-second 16:9 (1920x1080) automotive test-drive invitation that renders one MP4 per enquiry rather than per VIN - the bridge between a listing page and a showroom floor. Five hard-cut scenes alternate a graphite showroom ground with a warm bone ground: a full-bleed hero exterior with a "RESERVED FOR <name>" pill and the make/model set at 116px, a light-ground argument scene pairing an exterior and a cockpit tile under "Twenty minutes behind the wheel tells you what twenty tabs can't.", the appointment itself with the date rendered as the largest number in the video over a feathered backdrop of the car, a "where" scene carrying the dealer name, address and a perforated test-drive pass card (dashed tear line and two punched notches), and a booking scene with the dealer logo chip, the lead's first name at 104px, an accent booking block and the phone number. It deliberately reuses the Vehicle Listing Showcase family's graphite skin and its vehicle_image_1/2/3 photo contract, so one dealership feed drives both templates. Thirteen dynamic fields swap per render: first_name, make_model, year_mileage, drive_date, drive_time, dealer_name, location_address, booking_url, dealer_phone, three vehicle photos (vehicle_image_1 does triple duty as the full-bleed hero, the scene-03 backdrop and the scene-05 side tile) and dealer_logo. Dates and times are passed preformatted - the template does no date maths.
Service Reminder - Personalized
A service reminder addressed to one owner and one car, built to render unattended from a dealership DMS - one video per vehicle per interval. Five scenes over 33 seconds at 1920×1080 (16:9, 30fps): the owner's first name beside a photo of their model, the record the garage is acting on (vehicle, registration, odometer, service due) in a hairline-ruled panel, the three jobs the interval calls for, the fixed price and the hours on the single saturated blue frame, and a closing booking link plus phone number. The palette alternates grey-white and graphite with one service-blue frame; Manrope carries the display type, Geist every human sentence, and JetBrains Mono the machine-known data (plate, odometer, URL). It deliberately carries no countdown, offer, discount or urgency badge. Fourteen dynamic fields are swapped per render: owner_name, vehicle_name, vehicle_plate, vehicle_image, odometer, service_due, service_item_1, service_item_2, service_item_3, service_price, service_duration, booking_url, service_phone and service_centre - several appear on two to five scenes (service_centre on all five) as separate overlays sharing one replacement key. Every number, unit and currency symbol travels preformatted inside its variable, so the template needs no locale logic.
