}Show off your real estate listings by creating a slideshow video from a sequence of images. This dynamic template includes place holders for the property details including address, number of bedrooms and property type, a selection of images and an outro with the real estate agents contact information. An overlay animation brings the video to life and motion effects are applied to the images to create a sense of movement.

Yes. This template renders 1024×576 by default. Set output.resolution to "1080" or output.size to a larger 16:9 size in the JSON; the layout scales with it.
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.
Edit the text on each rich-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.
