What WeRead Year in Review Video Template does

The WeRead Year in Review Video Template is designed for individuals looking to summarize their reading journey in a visually engaging way. This template allows users to produce a 9:16 video that encapsulates their annual reading statistics, including reading hours, active days, and bookshelf highlights. The output is styled with a warm paper texture and features editorial Chinese typography, creating a unique aesthetic that resonates with book lovers.

To use the template, simply copy the provided HTML file and customize the report data to reflect your reading habits. Users can input their reading hours, active days, and personal notes, which are then transformed into a coherent narrative. The template preserves a 12-scene timeline that mimics the experience of flipping through a reading journal, ensuring a smooth and deterministic presentation without distracting transitions.

The WeRead template is particularly suited for avid readers, book clubs, and educators who want to create personalized reading dashboards or recap videos. It serves as an excellent tool for sharing reading accomplishments on social media or within communities focused on literature and learning. By leveraging this template, users can effectively communicate their reading experiences in a visually appealing format that encourages engagement.

Before finalizing the video, it is recommended to validate the composition against the provided checklist to ensure all elements are correctly implemented. This attention to detail enhances the quality of the final output, making it a valuable asset for anyone looking to celebrate their reading achievements.

WeRead Year in Review Video Template

Create a vertical HyperFrames composition for annual reading reports: WeRead, Goodreads, Readwise, Notion reading logs, book clubs, or personal learning recaps. The template turns reading time, active days, bookshelf assets, notes, keywords, and a reading persona into a shareable 9:16 video.

Workflow

  1. Copy assets/template.html to index.html.
  2. Replace the default report data in the REPORT object:
    • owner/title
    • reading hours and active days
    • bookshelf and completion stats
    • note composition
    • interest keywords
    • reading persona and share line
  3. Preserve the 12-scene timeline unless the user asks for a shorter cut.
  4. Keep the WeRead-inspired visual language:
    • warm paper background
    • ink-blue typography
    • restrained WeRead green accents
    • book pages, bookmarks, highlights, note cards, and shelf metaphors
  5. Motion should feel like flipping through a reading journal. Avoid techy slide transitions, bouncy UI effects, and dashboard-loading motion.
  6. Keep the composition deterministic:
    • direct data-start, data-duration, and data-track-index attributes
    • no unseeded randomness
    • no infinite loops or repeat: -1
    • no dependency on scroll, hover, localStorage, or runtime class discovery
  7. Validate against references/checklist.md before emitting.

Output Contract

Emit one short orientation sentence, then a single HTML artifact:

<artifact identifier="weread-year-in-review-video-template" type="text/html" title="WeRead Year in Review Video Template">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>
