Transform Your Videos into Engaging Experiences

Adding photos to videos is straightforward, and with a few smart techniques you can make your final result look clean and professional:
• Use high-quality images: Choose HD PNGs or JPGs to avoid pixelation, especially on larger screens.
• Place visuals carefully: Position photos where they don’t cover faces or key actions. Corners often work best for logos or small graphics.
• Use transparency for smoother blending: Lower opacity or use transparent PNGs to integrate logos naturally into the scene.
• Select the right size: Keep your photo large enough to stand out on mobile without overwhelming the frame.
• Incorporate B-roll and accents: Add supporting photos, stock images, or icons to highlight ideas and make content more engaging.
• Preview on mobile: Ensure visibility, alignment, and correct positioning for vertical or horizontal formats.
• Refine timing on the timeline: Adjust start and end times so photos appear exactly when needed for smooth pacing.
