How To Export A Personalized Video Template In JSON Format

0 like /  

Pirsonal is a personalized video marketing solution that automatically edits videos at scale. Video templates define the look and feel of these videos.

Behind the scenes, Pirsonal’s video editing software uses JSON to describe the characteristics of a template. We call this JSON Pirsonal Script.

A programmable video template in JSON includes the following:

  • Objects or layers: Video, image, audio, text, and rectangle.
  • Events and effects: Fade-in, fade-out, zoom-in, zoom-out, and move-to.
  • Properties: Play, duration, media trim, size, position, and more.
  • Expressions: An expression is an evaluable formula with some return value. Expressions can use the following usual arithmetic operators: +, -, *, or /.
  • Variables: These are identified as a string prepended with the dollar symbol (ie: $variable1). Variables are assigned at video creation time (API method Template_Video_New). Variable types are number or boolean depending on the property.

Pirsonal Script is really flexible as you can also use it in conjunction with Pirsonal’s video editing API to add and update templates for personalized videos on the fly.

In this article, you’ll learn the steps to export the JSON of a personalized video template, regardless if you are using Pirsonal’s Pirsonal Editor or Pirsonal Script.
