Social Media Video Template

Product Hunt Launch - Mobile App

A 17.6-second 16:9 launch video for a mobile app, built to be filled in and rendered in one pass: five beats - lockup, three features, then the ask - over an alternating cream / navy / blue rhythm. Every screenshot sits in a phone frame that arrives tilted in 3D and rotates to flat as it lands, and the dark scenes wipe in and out rather than cutting. Eleven variables: logo, product_name, tagline, three portrait screenshots, three feature lines, launch_line and cta_line. It ships with self-contained placeholder art, so it renders complete with nothing uploaded and users replace the parts they have. screenshot_2 and _3 fall back to screenshot_1 if only one capture exists. launch_line is the only Product-Hunt-specific element - clear it and the same render works as a generic launch video for X, LinkedIn or a mailer. Feature lines read best under about 45 characters; longer copy wraps to three lines rather than clipping.

Aspect ratio: 16:9 · Horizontal

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 11 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.

Render it from the API

Copy either call below. Both already carry this template's ID and its real variable keys - swap the values for your own.

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.

The body above shows 6 of 11 variables. Send any subset — every key you leave out renders its authored default. Read the full contract, with character limits, from GET /api/v1/templates/producthunt-launch-mobile/variables. See the previewing guide, the rendering guide, or the OpenAPI spec.

Frequently asked questions

How do I customize the Product Hunt Launch - Mobile App template?

Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 11 customizable fields (such as Screenshot 1) 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, 11 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.

More Social Media templates

Crypto Price Alert

A dark, fast vertical alert card for one crypto asset and one price move, fired when a threshold is crossed: the asset, the percentage move in crypto gold, the timeframe, the price now against where it started, and a call to action. 15 seconds, 9:16 (1080x1920). Dynamic fields: asset_symbol, asset_name, move_pct (sign included), timeframe, price_now, price_from, alert_time, source_name and cta_line. Reads the same for a 3% move or a 40% drop, up or down.

Reddit Story Reader

A screen-native story-reader short for faceless channels: a forum post card with the title and source, then three body pages in grey panels with a page counter and progress bar, and an end card that sets up the next part. 53 seconds, 9:16 (1080x1920). Dynamic fields: post_title, source_label, page_1, page_2, page_3 (up to about 380 characters each), part_label, outro_line and channel_handle. Longer stories render as several parts.

Motivational Quote Reel

The moving sibling of the Daily Quote card: one quote over slow, graded footage with an optional AI-narrated read. 23 seconds, 9:16 at 1080x1920, five scenes - a title card, the quote, the attribution, a near-black quote card built to be screenshotted, and a follow outro - in near-black, warm white and a single warm-amber accent, set in Cormorant Garamond with JetBrains Mono furniture. Dynamic fields: series_label, date_label, the_line, attribution, handle (text), background_clip (video) and narration (sound, filled per render with a text-to-speech value). It uses the same field names as the Daily Social Card - Quote, so one row a day renders both the square card and the vertical reel.
