๐ŸŽจ Creating Templates + AI Enhancements

Best ways to create templates using Sludge AI that go viral on social media.

Updated over 6 months ago

Templates make your videos look awesome โ€” and fast. You can pick cool styles, add captions, text, or background effects. Some even add fun clips like games or satisfying stuff to keep people watching!


๐Ÿงฑ Whatโ€™s a Template?

A template is like a wrapper for your video. It can:

  • Add text, subtitles, or captions

  • Change the shape and size of your video

  • Add retention clips like Minecraft or Subway Surfers to keep people watching

  • Make all your videos look the same style (like a theme!)

You can choose different templates depending on the video youโ€™re making.


๐Ÿ›  What You Can Customize

Not every template has every setting โ€” it depends on the type you pick!


1. ๐Ÿ“บ Retention Clips

Some templates let you add a video on the bottom or side of your main video. These are fun โ€œextra clipsโ€ that help people keep watching.

You can choose from:

  • Minecraft

  • Mobile Games

  • Satisfying Videos

  • Subway Surfers

  • Random Clip


2. ๐Ÿง  AI Subtitles (Captions)

Let AI listen to your video and add fun, bold captions!

You can change:

  • Font style

  • Text color

  • Where the words appear (top, middle, or bottom)

  • How many words show at once


3. ๐Ÿ“ Text or AI Text

Some templates let you add a main title or big message.

You can:

  • Type your own

  • OR let AI write something catchy for you based on the video


4. ๐Ÿ–Œ Background Color

In some templates (like Overlay or Twitter-style), you can pick the background color to match your vibe.


5. ๐Ÿ–ผ Aspect Ratio

All videos are made to fit phones (16:9), but you can pick how your video fits inside the screen.

Options:

  • 9:16 (tall)

  • 3:4

  • 5:7

  • 1:1 (square)

  • Auto (Sludge picks the best size)


6. โœ‚๏ธ Auto Crop

If your video has a border or extra space around it, auto crop cuts it out so only the video shows.


7. โœ๏ธ Text Settings

For all templates with text, you can choose:

  • Font

  • Text color

  • Outline color

  • Placement (Top, Center, Bottom)

  • Alignment (Left, Center, Right)


๐Ÿ’พ Save as a Preset

When you're happy with your template, you can save it as a preset.

This means:

You can edit future videos with one click using your saved style!
