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.
A luma asset masks the track above it: light areas of the matte show that track, dark areas hide it. This template uses it for its reveal effect; swap the matte video to change the shape of the reveal.
