### When to Use This Template

* You have your own images and want to create a video (not a slideshow) that cycles through them — with or without text overlays and a watermark
* You are a photographer, real estate agent, or e-commerce seller who wants to turn product or property images into a video
* You want a branded watermark on the output video (optional — set to empty to remove)

### Customization Tips

All parameters in this template are optional. To hide elements you don't need:

| To hide this          | Do this                                                                                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Watermark             | Set `watemark` to `""` (empty string). Note: the parameter name is `watemark`, not `watermark`. |
| Titles                | Omit the `titles` parameter, or pass an empty array `[]`                                        |
| Text overlays         | Omit the `texts` parameter, or pass an empty array `[]`                                         |
| Text background color | Omit `textBgColor` (only visible when titles/texts are present)                                 |

If you want a video of your images with no overlays at all, set `watemark` to `""` and omit `titles` and `texts`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.contouron.com/api/visual/video-of-images-and-text-with-minimal-style.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
