**Pixelle-Video supports three distinct template types—static, image, and video—organized by naming prefixes and resolution folders, with built-in portrait templates for AI-generated video backgrounds.**

Pixelle-Video, an open-source AI video generation framework from AIDC-AI, provides a flexible template system for creating short-form videos. Understanding what types of video templates are supported by Pixelle-Video is essential for customizing your workflow and selecting the right approach for your content needs.

## Template Type Families by Naming Prefix

Pixelle-Video uses a clear naming convention to distinguish three template families. Each prefix determines how media is handled during video generation:

| Prefix | Template Type | Media Behavior |
|--------|---------------|--------------|
| `static_*.html` | **Static templates** | No AI-generated media; text-only rendering |
| `image_*.html` | **Image templates** | AI-generated image inserted as background |
| `video_*.html` | **Video templates** | AI-generated video used as dynamic background |

These naming rules are documented in the [模板命名规范 (Template Naming Specification)](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/docs/zh/user-guide/templates.md#L85-L99) section of the user guide.

### How Each Template Type Works

**Static templates** (`static_*.html`) are the simplest option. They render text overlays without calling any AI generation workflow, making them ideal for quick, low-cost videos where you don't need dynamic backgrounds.

**Image templates** (`image_*.html`) trigger the ComfyUI image-generation workflow. The resulting AI image is automatically inserted as the background layer, with text rendered on top.

**Video templates** (`video_*.html`) trigger the ComfyUI video-generation workflow. This produces fully dynamic AI-generated footage as the background, creating the most visually engaging results.

## Built-In Video Templates

Pixelle-Video ships with two ready-to-use video templates located in the portrait size directory:

| Template File | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| [`templates/1080x1920/video_default.html`](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/templates/1080x1920/video_default.html) | Default dynamic template for portrait video |
| [`templates/1080x1920/video_healing.html`](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/templates/1080x1920/video_healing.html) | "Healing" style dynamic template for portrait video |

You can inspect these templates directly in the repository:

- [[`video_default.html`](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/video_default.html)](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/templates/1080x1920/video_default.html)
- [[`video_healing.html`](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/video_healing.html)](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/templates/1080x1920/video_healing.html)

## Resolution-Based Organization

Templates are organized by resolution folders, which determine the final video orientation. This structure is documented in the [模板结构 (Template Structure)](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/docs/zh/user-guide/templates.md#L104-L116) section.

| Size Folder | Orientation | Typical Use Case |
|-------------|-------------|----------------|
| `1080x1920` | Portrait | TikTok, Douyin, Xiaohongshu short videos |
| `1920x1080` | Landscape | YouTube, Bilibili, horizontal platforms |
| `1080x1080` | Square | Instagram, WeChat Moments |

You can add custom video templates to any of these size directories following the `video_*.html` naming convention.

## Summary

Pixelle-Video supports three core template types distinguished by naming prefixes:

- **Static templates** (`static_*.html`) for text-only rendering without AI generation
- **Image templates** (`image_*.html`) for AI-generated image backgrounds via ComfyUI
- **Video templates** (`video_*.html`) for AI-generated video backgrounds via ComfyUI

The repository includes two built-in video templates for portrait format (`video_default` and `video_healing`), and you can create custom templates in any supported resolution folder.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between image and video templates in Pixelle-Video?

Image templates generate a single AI image as the background, while video templates generate full motion footage. Both use ComfyUI workflows, but video templates call the video-generation pipeline instead of the image-generation pipeline, resulting in dynamic backgrounds suitable for more engaging content.

### Can I use custom resolutions for Pixelle-Video templates?

Yes. While the repository provides standard folders (`1080x1920`, `1920x1080`, `1080x1080`), you can create additional resolution directories. The template system is flexible—place your `static_*.html`, `image_*.html`, or `video_*.html` files in any resolution folder, and the rendering pipeline will process them accordingly.

### How do I create a custom video template from scratch?

Create an HTML file with the `video_` prefix in your desired resolution folder—for example, [`templates/1080x1920/video_custom.html`](https://github.com/AIDC-AI/Pixelle-Video/blob/main/templates/1080x1920/video_custom.html). The template should define the text overlay structure and styling. When processed, Pixelle-Video will automatically trigger the ComfyUI video-generation workflow and insert the resulting AI video as your background layer.
