How to make a New Year countdown video for 2027
2027 countdown & spoken greeting · Updated
Turn one portrait into a rooftop toast with fireworks and a spoken Happy New Year. This guide walks through our 2027 countdown template, from checking the real sample to saving a 10-second vertical greeting you can share.
1. Listen to the countdown sample before choosing it
Play the sample above with sound on. The scene combines a rooftop celebration, a raised glass and fireworks. Its English greeting is “Two, one! Happy New Year! Here’s to a bright twenty twenty-seven!” Choose Countdown & toast if you want a short spoken greeting. The template uses a fixed scene and dialogue prompt; it does not offer a script editor or voice cloning. A generated voice, the exact words and lip movements can vary. The sample helps you judge the style before spending a video credit.
2. Prepare one clear portrait
Use a JPG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB, at least 320 × 320 pixels. Choose a sharp portrait of one adult with even light across the face. Leave a little space around the head and avoid sunglasses, heavy filters or objects covering the face. The templates are designed for one person; a group photo is not a supported way to make a shared toast. Use a photo you have permission to process. Selecting the file keeps it on your device until you submit it for AI generation.
3. Generate your 10-second New Year greeting
Open the creator using the button below; Countdown & toast will already be selected. Add your portrait, review the photo-processing consent and sign in with Google. If you need credits, choose a one-time package on the pricing page. One generation uses one video credit. The current output setting is 10 seconds, 1080p, vertical 9:16 MP4 with audio. Submitting sends your image for AI processing. Wait for the task to finish and check its status; there is no guaranteed completion time. A technical generation failure returns the reserved credit.
4. Add your personal message or a longer countdown
Watch the finished clip before sharing it. Check the face, hands, year numbers and spoken greeting, then listen for unclear words or audio you do not want. Add your own caption in a video editor, for example: “Goodbye 2026. Here’s to new beginnings in 2027.” Keep important text away from the edges so it remains visible when you preview the post. The short spoken “Two, one!” is part of the scene. For a ten-to-one countdown, add a separate opening sequence in an editor. The template is not a live clock synchronized to midnight.
5. Download a copy before you post
Open your completed AI video in Projects and download the MP4. Cloud videos are kept in your account for 30 days, so save anything you want to keep. Play the downloaded file on your phone and preview the upload in your chosen social app to check its crop and sound. If you want a photo-free greeting instead, compare the fireworks portal template. For a free option, the separate local maker exports an 8- or 12-second silent animation of a still portrait; you can add your own countdown and audio afterward. Local history stays in the browser where you made it.
