Night shift – thank you nurses video template

A starry midnight-blue sky, a crescent moon and lamplight gold for the people who cared through the night. With your photos and message it runs about 20 seconds over 5 scenes, and grows a little with every extra photo you add.

On screen it reads “To …”, “Thank you”, “for …” and “while the world slept”, set in Playfair Display and Dancing Script. It adds stars. The words arrive letter by letter and the words arrive word by word. 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 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 calm track (slow, warm pads), or pick another built-in track or a song from your device, or save a short GIF.

People pick it for night shift, nurses, ward, paramedics and carers. Everything is made on your device: nothing is uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark. For ideas, wording and timing, see nurse appreciation video.
