Social media video template
A general-purpose social post video: headline, supporting text and imagery timed for feed scrolling. Customise it in the Studio editor, then drive it from a content calendar so the feed stays full without an editor in the loop.
No account needed until you render.

Common questions
How do I change the text and media without editing the JSON?
Use the 4 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.
Is this template made for TikTok, Reels and Shorts?
Yes. It renders vertical 1080×1920 (9:16), the format those platforms expect. Change output.size or output.aspectRatio in the JSON if you also need a square or landscape cut.
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.
Can I turn the captions off or change their style?
Yes. The caption asset is one clip in the timeline; remove it for no captions, or change its style preset, font and position in the JSON.
