Starting Lineup at a glance

Starting Lineup is a ready-made AI Video template on TalkPix. Arena spotlights, a game face and your own animated lower-third, like a TV pre-game intro. You add 1 photo; the template supplies the scene, the camera moves and the sound. The result is a 10-second vertical (9:16) video with sound, made by Seedance 2.5, for 60 credits at 480p, 130 at 720p.

What happens in the video

Like a TV pre-game introduction, a spotlight snaps on and finds you standing in the dark in a sleek athletic jacket, haze drifting around you. You raise your chin into a confident game face and cross your arms as a glossy graphic slides in with the number 10 and the word STARTER. A second light sweeps across, you give the camera a small nod, and the 10-second intro fades down to a single rim light.

The Starting Lineup video is vertical (9:16), the format TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts use, so the file posts without cropping.
