These templates are ideal for those who wish to participate in the competition but have limited video editing experience. Contestants can access template 01 or template 02, select "Use template", and then replace the placeholders with their personal content that embodies the spirit of "Song ruc ro". Upon completion, participants must upload their video to their personal account with the hashtags specified by the competition rules.

While using these templates simplifies the production process, it does not diminish the requirements for creativity and content quality. Contestants still need to select appropriate materials, craft a clear message, and present their story from a unique perspective.
