New Year Video Template

The New Year Video Template generates a widescreen 8-second clip of fireworks bursting over a city skyline at midnight, their colors reflected in a river as the camera slowly cranes up, with crackling firework sound. No photo is needed: the template fills in Veo 3.1, 16:9 and a tested prompt, and you edit the words to change the city, the colors or the shot. Each clip costs 13 credits (about $0.69). Use it for New Year's Eve countdown posts, greetings and website banners.

How do I use the New Year Video Template?

  1. 1

    Open the template

    Click “Use this template”. The text-to-video page opens with the New Year prompt, Veo 3.1, the length and the aspect ratio already filled in.

  2. 2

    Make the prompt yours

    Edit the prompt to change the kind of city, the firework colors or the camera move. Keep the last sentence (no people, no text) so the clip stays clean.

  3. 3

    Generate and check

    Generate the clip and watch it through. If the fireworks or the skyline aren't what you pictured, adjust one detail in the prompt and generate again; each run costs 13 credits.

  4. 4

    Download and add your greeting

    Download the MP4 and add your greeting, the year and your logo in your video editor before you post it.

How can I make it my own?

  • Change the city type: “a harbor city with a long suspension bridge”, “an old town with church spires”, or “a small mountain village beside a frozen lake”.
  • Pick one color story. All gold reads elegant; neon pink and electric blue feel more like a party.
  • Add a sparkler close-up: start the prompt with “A lit sparkler stands in the snow on a balcony railing in the foreground, the fireworks soft and blurred behind it.”
  • Need a vertical version for Stories? Switch the aspect ratio to 9:16 before you generate and ask for “tall bursts filling the upper half of the frame”.

What prompt does this template use?

This is the prompt filled into the generator. Edit it freely before you generate.

Fireworks burst over a modern city skyline at midnight on New Year's Eve. Gold, red and silver shells bloom high above the glowing towers and fall in shimmering trails, and their colors reflect on a calm river in the foreground. The camera starts low near the water and makes one slow crane-up to reveal the full skyline and sky. Sound: crackling fireworks and deep booms echoing across the water. Cinematic night shot with rich colors and light haze. No people, no text, no brand names or logos on the buildings.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a New Year fireworks video cost on Kensa?

One clip with this template costs 13 credits, about $0.69 at the price of the cheapest credit pack. Every new run costs the same, so settle the prompt before you generate. New accounts created with Google sign-in get free credits to try it first.

Can the video say “Happy New Year” or show the year?

Don't count on it. Video models don't render text reliably, so words and numbers in the sky or on buildings often come out misspelled or garbled; that's why the prompt asks for no text. Generate the clean fireworks shot, then add your greeting and the year as a text layer in your editor.

Can I make it look like my own city?

You can describe it: a harbor with a bridge, a cluster of glass towers, an old town with spires. The model invents the buildings, though, so the result won't be an accurate copy of a real skyline or landmark. If you need a recognizable real place, use real footage of it.

Does the video come with sound?

Yes. Veo 3.1 generates audio along with the clip, and this prompt asks for crackling fireworks and deep booms. The sound is generated too, so it changes from run to run; if you want your own music, mute the clip in your editor and add a track.

Can I use the video in my company's New Year campaign?

Commercial use depends on your plan. The pricing page lists which plans and packs include a commercial license.
