Customising

Vidds in App - Creating a video from a template

Customising your video is a very simple process. There are three key things to remember:

  1. To customise any element, simply click on it in the video canvas (the video in the middle of the screen).
  2. This will open the editing panel on the lefthand side of the screen. Use the options to customise and make changes to your video – there are many ways to customise each element.  Often the simplest changes such as adding your own images or videos, updating the text and changing the fonts and colours can have the biggest impact.
  3. Add new scenes to your video using the “New Scene” button in the Scene List section at the bottom. Select a template and repeat the process of customisation

Finalising

You’ve added multiple scenes using pre-designed templates, you’ve customised them and now have a great looking video.

But what comes next?

Now it’s time to add the finishing touches!

Using the “Project Settings” menu on the righthand side, you can make some final tweaks and adjustments to the overall video. You have the option to add a logo overlay, add multiple audio tracks – this can be music and/or voiceovers, plus many other options to fine tune the look and feel of your video.

Downloading

Now that your video is finished, it’s time to download it and share it with the world.

Simply click the “Download” button in the top righthand corner of the editor and your video will begin downloading.
