Effect template directory
AI effect templates
Every OpenFilmo effect template that has its own page, collected in one directory and sorted by what you are trying to make. Open any template to see its credit cost, clip length, resolution and the input it expects — before you spend credits on it.
Quick answer
107 AI effect templates are catalogued on this page, in 10 collections: halloween, christmas and holiday, new year and festive, product and advertising, art style, camera and visual, transformation, couple and connection, viral and social, warm moment. Each template page states the credit cost, clip length, resolution and input rule shown in the product panel, and the limits we know about. Nothing here is guessed for search traffic.
Limitation: templates change as the library is updated — a template can be renamed, repriced or retired. If a page and the app disagree, the app panel is the source of truth.
Verified: template specs (credits, clip length, resolution, input rules) read from the OpenFilmo effect library on 13 October 2026.
How this directory is organised
Effect templates are not interchangeable. A Halloween portrait swap, a product spin and an anime restyle ask for different inputs, cost different credits and behave differently when the source photo is imperfect. So instead of one long alphabetical list, this directory splits templates into collections that match the job you are actually doing.
If you are preparing a seasonal post, start with the seasonal collections. If you are making an ad, the product and advertising collection is where the useful templates live. If you just want to see what a photo can become, the art style and transformation collections are the fastest way to find out.
Every link below opens a page that answers four questions in the first screen: what the template does, what it costs, what input it needs, and where it breaks.

How credits work
OpenFilmo runs on credits rather than per-seat licences. Each render draws credits according to the template, the clip length and the resolution, and the exact number is printed on every template page in this directory. Short clips are the cheapest way to test a look; longer or higher-resolution renders cost more.
The free tier refills credits every month with no card and no watermark on output, which is enough to test a handful of templates properly. Paid plans add credits, faster queues and parallel jobs — see pricing for the current numbers.
One practical tip: when a template takes a single photo as input, spend your first credit on the cleanest, brightest, most frontal shot you have. Most failed renders we see come from the input photo, not the template.

Frequently asked questions
How many AI effect templates does OpenFilmo have?
This directory lists 107 effect templates that ship with a dedicated page, grouped into 10 collections. The product library also contains templates that do not yet have a page, so treat this list as the catalogued set rather than the absolute count of everything in the app.
What does an effect template cost in credits?
Each template page lists its own credit cost, clip length, resolution and input rules as shown in the product panel. Short clips are the cheapest way to test a look; longer or higher-resolution renders cost more. The free tier refills credits monthly, so you can try templates without paying.
Do effect templates work on any photo?
Most templates need a single clear subject and work best when the person or product is well lit and facing the camera. Templates that require two people or a pet say so on their page. If the input rule is not met, the render usually returns a note instead of a clip.
What is the difference between these templates and the effects library?
The effects library at /ai-video/ describes the flagship product effects and how each one works. These template pages are narrower: one page per template with its exact cost, limits and best input, so you can pick before you spend credits.
Can I use the output commercially?
Generated clips are yours to publish, including paid ads, on every plan including the free tier. The only restriction is the source material you upload: use photos you own or have permission to use.
