[Changelog](https://templated.io/changelog/)

We’re incredibly excited to announce one of the most requested features in Templated’s history: **Video Rendering** is now live!

This is a huge milestone for us and represents a major step forward in our vision to help you fully automate your asset production pipeline — from static images and PDFs to now **dynamic video content**.

## What’s New?

### 📹 Video Layers in Templates

You can now add video elements directly into your templates through the Editor. Whether it’s a background video, product demo clip, or animated footage — videos are now first-class citizens in Templated.

### ✨ Animations & Transitions

Bring your designs to life! Add CSS animations and transitions to **any layer** in your template — text, images, shapes, you name it. Create stunning motion graphics without leaving our Editor.

### 🚀 Render Videos via API

Use our existing `/v1/render` endpoint with just a few new parameters:

- `"format": "mp4"` — Output as video
- `duration` — Control video length (up to 90 seconds)
- `fps` — Choose your frame rate (up to 60 FPS)

```
fetch('https://api.templated.io/v1/render', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "template": TEMPLATE_ID,
    "format": "mp4",
    "duration": 10000,  // 10 seconds
    "fps": 30,
    "layers": {
      "title": { "text": "Welcome to my video!" },
      "background-video": { "video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4" }
    }
  }),
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`
  }
})
```

## Get Started with Video Templates from our Template Gallery

To help you hit the ground running, we’ve created **5 ready-to-use video templates** in our Template Gallery:

1. [**Motivational Story Video**](https://templated.io/templates/social-media/motivational-story-video/)
2. [**Motivational Post with Video**](https://templated.io/templates/social-media/motivational-post-with-video/)
3. [**Modern House Green Post**](https://templated.io/templates/real-estate-marketing/modern-house-green-post/)
4. [**3 Best Places Worth the Trip Post**](https://templated.io/templates/social-media/3-best-places-worth-the-trip-post/)
5. [**New Building Release Post**](https://templated.io/templates/real-estate-marketing/new-building-release-post/)

Use any of these templates and customize them for your use case — or use them as inspiration to build your own video templates from scratch.

## Video Credits

Video rendering uses a credit system based on resolution, FPS, and duration. Check out our [documentation](https://templated.io/docs/renders/create/#video-credits-cost) for the full breakdown and use the credit calculator to estimate costs.

---

## What this means for you

With video rendering, you can now automate:

- **Social media video ads** at scale
- **Product videos** with dynamic content
- **Animated thumbnails** and promotional clips
- **Personalized video content** for each customer
- **Motion graphics** for marketing campaigns

No more switching between tools. Design once in Templated, render as image, PDF, or video — all through the same API.

## Documentation

We’ve added comprehensive documentation for video rendering:

## Beta Notice

Video rendering is currently in **Beta**. We’re actively improving the feature and would love your feedback! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please reach out 🙏.

This is just the beginning. We have more exciting updates planned for video capabilities, and we can’t wait to see the amazing videos you’ll create with that.

Happy rendering! 🎉
