One render is a demo. A video for every row of your data is the workflow.

Node.js, one render per CSV row, wired to this template's 11 merge fields. Setup steps in the header.

Use the 11 merge fields listed above. Send a merge array with your own values for each field and the API swaps them in at render time, so one template can produce thousands of unique videos.
Yes. It renders 1080×1080 (1:1). Set output.aspectRatio to 9:16 or 16:9 in the JSON to produce vertical or landscape versions from the same timeline.
Yes. The template uses 3 images; replace each image asset's src with a public URL of your own file (JPG, PNG or WebP). Keep the timing and effects, or adjust them per clip.
Edit the text on each text asset in the JSON. Fonts come from the timeline fonts list or the asset's font family; add your own font file URL to timeline.fonts to use a brand typeface.
