Golden hour retirement – farewell video template

A slow sunset gradient, a rising sun and flowing script for a warm happy-retirement film. With your photos and message it runs about 24 seconds over 6 scenes, and grows a little with every extra photo you add.

On screen it reads “…”, “Happy retirement”, “Thank you for” and “what a journey”, set in Dm Serif Display and Great Vibes. The artwork is two suns. It adds light leak and sparkles. The suns turn slowly and the words arrive word by word. The colours are coral, cream and orange; under Style you can swap them for blue, white and orange.

When you open it, a short form asks for who it’s for, what it’s for, a few words of your own and who it’s from, and puts the answers straight onto the design; every word can still be changed afterwards under Text. There are 2 frames ready for your own pictures, and you can add up to 30 photos or short clips in all; extra ones get scenes of their own.

It opens in Vertical 9:16 and also fits Portrait 4:5, Square 1:1 and Landscape 16:9; switch under Format without starting again. Export it as an MP4 with sound; it starts with the cinematic track (swelling strings and piano), or pick another built-in track or a song from your device, or save a short GIF.

People pick it for retirement, happy retirement, sunset, warm and cinematic. Everything is made on your device: nothing is uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark. For ideas, wording and timing, see employee appreciation video.
