# Video of Images and Text with Minimal Style

Create videos combining images and text with minimal styling.

## When to Use This Template

* You have your own images and want to create a video (not a slideshow) that cycles through them — with or without text overlays and a watermark
* You are a photographer, real estate agent, or e-commerce seller who wants to turn product or property images into a video
* You want a branded watermark on the output video (optional — set to empty to remove)

## Customization Tips

All parameters in this template are optional. To hide elements you don't need:

| To hide this          | Do this                                                                                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Watermark             | Set `watemark` to `""` (empty string). Note: the parameter name is `watemark`, not `watermark`. |
| Titles                | Omit the `titles` parameter, or pass an empty array `[]`                                        |
| Text overlays         | Omit the `texts` parameter, or pass an empty array `[]`                                         |
| Text background color | Omit `textBgColor` (only visible when titles/texts are present)                                 |

If you want a video of your images with no overlays at all, set `watemark` to `""` and omit `titles` and `texts`.
