Whole-school film – teacher appreciation video template

A widescreen navy and gold film with framed photos, a gold laurel and room for the whole school to sign off. 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 “From the whole school”, “Thank you”, “…” and “Every lesson. Every day. Every one of you.”, set in Playfair Display and Dancing Script. The artwork is a laurel wreath. It adds bokeh and sparkles. The words arrive letter by letter and the words arrive word by word. The colours are deep blue, cream and orange; under Style you can swap them for deep rose, 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 teacher appreciation video, school, staff, assembly and navy. 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 teacher video and messages.
