Sunshine crew – thank you volunteers video template

A sunny yellow square with a spinning sun and big friendly type that thanks volunteers for their time. With your photos and message it runs about 19 seconds over 5 scenes, and grows a little with every extra photo you add.

On screen it reads “Thank you!”, “…”, “for …” and “lighter work, brighter days”, set in Poppins and Caveat. The artwork is two suns. It adds confetti. The suns turn slowly, the words arrive letter by letter and the words arrive word by word. The colours are gold, black and coral; under Style you can swap them for pale blue, deep blue and red.

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

People pick it for volunteer appreciation, thank you volunteers, sunny, charity and helpers. Everything is made on your device: nothing is uploaded, there is no sign-up and no watermark. For ideas, wording and timing, see donor thank you video for charities.
