Wedding Invitation - Named For One Guest
A grown-up, modern 30-second vertical (9:16) wedding invitation that renders one video per guest - a planner, venue, or invite platform uploads guests.csv and batch-renders the whole list, because only one field changes per row. Deliberately not stationery: no script faces, no gold, no ivory-and-garnet. Six scenes on an alternating ink ↔ chalk rhythm with a single pine accent and a 1px hairline motif: a setup line that makes the next scene land, the payoff (the guest's name alone at 380px inside a hairline card), a full-bleed couple photo with a slow push-in, a when-&-where scene with the date over a venue photo, three dry lines about what the day actually is, and a keepsake card built to be screenshotted (it holds completely static for the last 3 seconds and carries the couple, date, place, RSVP link, and the guest's name in one frame). Geist + JetBrains Mono. Swap eleven dynamic fields - guest_name (the only per-guest field, used in both the payoff and the card), couple_names, wedding_weekday + wedding_date + wedding_date_full, venue_name + venue_location + venue_line, rsvp_link, couple_photo, and venue_photo - where everything but guest_name is set once per wedding. Phone-first: built to land in a WhatsApp thread and be forwarded to a partner. Note: the guest name renders at a fixed 380px, which fits roughly five narrow characters - pass a smaller font size for longer names like "Priya & Devendra". Pairs with The Long Version (v2), which shares an identical variable set so one upload renders both cuts.

Frequently asked questions
How do I customize the Wedding Invitation - Named For One Guest template?
Open the template in the Renderly editor and replace its 11 customizable fields (such as Guest 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. 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.

Yoga & Meditation Studio Session
A 41-second, 1080×1920 (9:16) weekly-session announcement for a yoga, meditation, or breathwork studio, built from a 6-scene design handoff (Breath & Stillness). It opens on a full-bleed hero photo naming the session, holds a completely static "breathing rings" beat with no copy, introduces the teacher against a clay ground, lays out day/time/location on an oat ground, recaps everything on a saturated sage card, and closes on a second full-bleed photo with the booking link — fading to a dark tone rather than cutting to black. Fourteen dynamic fields swap per render: 11 text (studio_name, session_name, session_line, teacher_name, teacher_title, teacher_note, session_day, session_time, session_location, booking_line, booking_note) and 3 images (hero_photo, teacher_photo, closing_photo), letting one studio re-render the same template for any recurring class by only changing the session, teacher, and schedule.
Halloween Event & Offer
A Halloween poster in motion for bars, restaurants, gyms and retailers — five scenes that carry the event, the date, the venue and the offer, plus the link that turns a viewer into a booking. 1080×1920 (9:16), 36 seconds at 30fps. The register is a good bar's flyer rather than a horror film: a fat-face Abril Fatface didone set in title case on void black, a poison-purple accent, and deliberately no orange — the whole spooky budget is three drawings (a bone moon, one spider on a thread, a family of scallop-winged bats). The ground flips scene to scene (void, bone, graded photo, a full purple flood for the offer, void) so each cut lands like a switch being thrown. Twelve fields swap per render: event_name, event_tagline, event_date, door_time, venue_name, venue_address, venue_photo (the one photograph, full-bleed 9:16 and hard-graded into the palette), offer_value (the graphic claim inside the black stamp), offer_detail, offer_terms (optional — a discount code or a house rule), cta_line, and brand_logo (optional — it replaces the moon mark). event_date appears three times in three treatments and event_name, door_time, venue_name and offer_detail each appear twice, so one CSV row per venue renders a whole street's worth of posters, and next year the same rows render again with two fields changed.
Wedding Invitation - The Wide Cut
The landscape member of the family: a 28-second widescreen (16:9) wedding invitation built for the places a wedding video actually plays wide - an email embed, the hero of the couple's wedding website, and the screen in the venue lobby on the day. It is not the vertical cut letterboxed; every composition is built for the wide frame. Same one-video-per-guest premise as v1–v3, with guest_name the only field that changes per row. Espresso and oat with a single teal accent, Geist 500 uppercase display, a 120px inset, and a hairline motif that runs both horizontal and vertical. Six scenes: a product thesis anchored against a vertical rule ("A wedding is a group event. An invitation isn't."), the guest's name at 368px beside a 16px full-bleed teal stripe with the right half deliberately left empty so longer names grow into it, the couple under a solid oat plate covering the left 44% of a full-bleed photograph, a two-column date-and-place ledger split by a full-height hairline that reads left to right, a three-column run-of-day timeline bracketed by full-width rules, and a landscape keepsake with a 700px full-height venue panel that holds fully static for the last 2.5 seconds - the frame that gets screenshotted from a desktop or pasted into an email. Hard cuts throughout: in a wide frame the plate and panel wipes already carry the motion. Geist + JetBrains Mono. Swap ten dynamic fields - guest_name, couple_names, wedding_date + wedding_date_full, venue_name + venue_location + venue_line, rsvp_link, couple_photo, and venue_photo. Usually watched muted and autoplaying, so no information depends on audio and the opening scene doubles as the poster frame. Note: the guest name renders at a fixed 368px - the sample "Phil" measures 750px of its 1600px column, but a long name like "Priya & Devendra" needs a smaller font size. The two photos have opposite needs: couple_photo is landscape and must keep its subject in the right half so the plate does not cover it, while venue_photo has to survive a tall 700×1080 crop. If a couple has only one usable photograph, render v1 instead.
