# Improved Video Templates and Audio Library > Orshot video templates now render as one finished film with transitions and music. Build it in Studio or ask your AI agent and render it via API. - **Author**: Rishi Mohan - **Published**: 2026-10-28 - **Tags**: Updates, Features, Video, Studio, Audio, AI Agents - **Read time**: 3 min read - **URL**: https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library --- Your video templates now come out as finished films. Pages cut into each other with real transitions, one music track runs under the whole video, and a layer can make a sound as it moves. You can build the film in Studio, or ask your AI agent to build it for you. Either way, every API call renders a new version of it. The video below was made entirely in Orshot's Film mode. [Watch the video](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/film-mode.mp4) ## One finished video from a multi-page template - Turn on **Film mode** and your pages play as one video. The API renders the same film as a single mp4, so there are no clips to stitch together afterwards. - Choose how each page comes in from 17 transitions, from a quick Cut to Push, Wipe, Cube or Zoom through. - Layers that share an id glide from one page to the next with **Match**, so your logo stays in place across the cut. - Music plays once from the first page to the last instead of starting over on every page. ![Orshot Studio Pages panel with Film mode on and a transition under each page, the transition picker set to Push, and three film frames caught mid Push, Zoom through and Dip to color](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/films-and-transitions.webp) ## Videos that sound finished, with no music hunt - Pick from 116 music tracks in 19 categories without leaving Studio. Search by what the video is for, like "upbeat sale" or "calm real estate". - Every track fits your video's length. It loops with a crossfade and ends on its own outro on the last frame, so a 17 second track works on a 60 second film. - 286 sound effects put a whoosh on a transition or a click on a button. - Attach a sound to a layer and it plays when the layer enters or leaves, in time with its animation. ![The Insert Audio panel in Orshot Studio: the Music tab with 19 categories and the Effects tab with groups like Whooshes and transitions, UI and clicks, Typing and text](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/audio-library.webp) ## Ask your agent for the film Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through [Orshot for agents](https://orshot.com/agents) and you can get a film without opening Studio. Your agent gets the same templates, transitions and Audio Library that you use in Studio. ```text Make a vertical reel for our new listing: a modern family home with 3 beds, 2 baths and a garden, $749k, open house Sunday 2 to 4. Add music and render it as an mp4. ``` The agent plans the scenes, picks stock photos, sets the transitions, adds a track and sound effects from the Audio Library and sends back the mp4. ![An agent prompt for a vertical listing reel, the five steps the agent takes from planning scenes to rendering the mp4, and two vertical films agents built: a real estate reel and a product launch](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/agent-film-flow.webp) Here's the listing reel the agent rendered, with the music it added. Nobody touched it in Studio. [Watch the video](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/agent-listing-reel.mp4) Once the first film is right, there's more you can hand to the agent: - Change it by asking. "Swap the music for something more upbeat" or "make the last cut a dip to black" updates the template, and the next render has it. - Put it on repeat. The film is a regular Orshot template, so n8n, Make, Zapier or your own code can render a new one for every listing with one API call. - Mix both. Let the agent draft the film, fine-tune the timing in Studio, then automate it. ## Preview the whole film before you render - One Play button plays the whole film or just the page you're editing. - The pages panel lights up the page on screen while the film plays, so you always know where you are. - **Space** plays and pauses, **Shift + ← / →** skips 10% and **Shift + Alt + ← / →** jumps to the start or end. - Video clips stay in sync with the page when you play, seek or pause. ![The Play menu with Play whole film and Play this page, the keyboard shortcuts Space, Shift plus arrows and Shift plus Alt plus arrows, and the film timeline with pages and music](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/studio-play-and-shortcuts.webp) ## Render a new film with every API call - Film mode needs no new endpoint. Send `format: "mp4"` with your usual call and you get the whole film back as one file. - Change a template's music through [Update Template](https://orshot.com/docs/api-reference/enterprise-template-update) as a track on the `film` object. - Leave music out of one request with `videoOptions.music: false`, or mute layer sounds with `videoOptions.sound: false`. - Templates you already have render exactly as before. ![A render request with format mp4 on the left and the rendered film on the right: six pages, five transitions and the music in one 1920 by 1080 file](https://orshot.com/blog/improved-video-templates-and-audio-library/api-render-film.webp) ```json { "templateId": "", "modifications": { "page1@headline": "Launch day" }, "response": { "type": "url", "format": "mp4", "mode": "async" }, "videoOptions": { "sound": false } } ``` Renders got sharper and faster too: - Scale plans can render video at 2x for sharper output. - Video clips with few keyframes render up to 4x faster and no longer freeze. - Drawn SVG illustrations can animate part by part, like a line chart drawing itself in. - Canva imports bring video clips in as video layers. The full schema for films, tracks and transitions is on the [Film](https://orshot.com/docs/definitions/film) page, and the sound options are in [Audio and Subtitles](https://orshot.com/docs/orshot-studio/audio-subtitles). Open any multi-page video template in [Orshot Studio](https://orshot.com/features/orshot-studio), turn on Film mode and press Play, or ask your agent to make one. Music and layer sounds are on plans with audio; see [pricing](https://orshot.com/pricing) for what each plan includes.
