Move stock assets into your project

Choose stock photos or video clips that match your brand and overall message, then drag-and-drop them into your project to tell your story. Rearrange the order, scale images to resize, or move reposition the framing within your blocks. Be sure to leave room for text to make your video your own—you can even search for “white space” to find photos with a little extra room for text.

Pro Tip

Try using stock footage of people. Studies show that images of humans help viewers relate to your brand. We have plenty of content in our stock library to help you there.

Add text, music, and branding

Transform your stock footage into something uniquely you by adding custom text, colors, and music. Compelling copy will improve your messaging and help audiences engage. Finish it off by adding your logo as a watermark to the corner of your video.

Pro Tip

Try multiple keyword combinations. Refine your search by typing in different adjectives and synonyms for your main keywords. Add descriptors for mood, color, or even time of day to find what you want for your video.
