Home movie – thank you mum video template

Full-screen family photos with soft letterbox scrims and quiet serif titles, made to thank parents on the big screen. With your photos and message it runs about 23 seconds over 6 scenes, and grows a little with every extra photo you add.

On screen it reads “a film for …”, “Thank you”, “for …” and “for showing up, every time”, set in Instrument Serif. The colours are black, cream 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 3 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 Landscape 16:9 and also fits Square 1:1, Portrait 4:5 and Vertical 9:16; 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 thank you mum, thank you mum and dad, parents, family video 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 thank you mom and dad video.
