Trigger a render from your CMS or RSS feed and each story ships with its own video. Give your AI agent the prompt, or run the script against a CSV.
A news video template that highlights an individual story with a title and b-roll footage beneath an animated border. The dynamic template includes a headline merge field to dynamically modify the text and a b-roll footage merge field to dynamically modify the background footage. The template uses an orange, black and white style news theme.
Common questions
How do I change the text and media without editing the JSON?
Use the 2 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.
Can I render this in full HD or 4K for YouTube?
Yes. This template renders 1920×1080 by default. Set output.resolution to "1080" or output.size to a larger 16:9 size in the JSON; the layout scales with it.
Can I swap the footage for my own video?
Yes. Replace the video asset's src with a public URL of your file (MP4 works best). Use trim and length on the clip to pick the part you want, and the template's effects apply to your footage.
How do I change the text and fonts?
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.
