Video Rendering is Here! 🎬

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.

See It in Action

Watch how easy it is to create animated video content with Templated.

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
2. Motivational Post with Video
3. Modern House Green Post
4. 3 Best Places Worth the Trip Post
5. 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 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.
