Element Reference

Template Element

1. Shape

interface TemplateClip extends BaseClip {
  type: "template";
  template: string;
  data?: Record<string, unknown>;
}

2. Supported template names

Current documented names:

  • product-intro
  • slideshow
  • subtitle-video
  • talking-head
  • comparison
  • countdown
  • text-reveal
  • news
  • quote
  • list

3. Runtime boundary

template clips expand into normal clips at runtime. The exact generated structure depends on the selected template and its data.

Template-level inheritance of transform, style, animations, keyframes, or transition is not documented as a stable child-clip behavior.
