# Templates

Start a film from a ready-made canvas layout for common formats.

Templates give you a canvas with the blocks already in place. You add your photo or idea, check the prompts and press **Run all**. Find them on the [Tyzli Movies](/movies) home.

## Available templates

| Template | Format | What you need |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Product ad in 3 shots | 9:16 | A product photo |
| Travel story | 16:9 | An idea; includes a voice-over |
| Neon music clip | 9:16 | An idea |
| First-person film | 16:9 | An idea |
| Date in one click | 9:16 | A photo of a couple |
| Character highlight | 16:9 | A photo of a character or pet |

## How to use a template

1. Open [/movies](/movies) and pick a template.
2. If it needs a photo, upload it into the **Photo** block.
3. Edit the **Text** block with your own idea or product details.
4. Check the prompts in the Image blocks and the camera moves in the Video clip blocks.
5. Press **Run all**. The total estimate is shown before anything runs.
6. Press **Watch film**, then **Download MP4**.

## Which one to pick

- **Selling something?** Product ad in 3 shots. The 9:16 format fits Reels, TikTok and Stories.
- **Sharing a trip?** Travel story, with narration over wide 16:9 shots.
- **Making something fun for a friend?** Date in one click or Character highlight. Character highlight works with pet photos too.
- **Want a mood piece?** Neon music clip.

## Changing a template

A template is a normal canvas. You can add or remove blocks, change the format in the top bar or add a voice-over. Everything saves automatically.

> [!WARNING]
> Templates that use a photo of a person should only use photos you have the right to use. See [Content rules](/guide/content-rules).

> [!TIP]
> Want to start from a finished film instead? In the gallery on the Movies home, press **Remix** or **Make one like this** on any example.
