STEP-BY-STEP

How to create a fundraising video

  1. Choose a template to get the ball rolling. Templates give you a starting point. If you prefer a completely clean slate, start from scratch.
  2. Customize your video with your branding, apply animations, drag and drop your photos and video clips, and edit your media.
  3. Choose a commercially-licensed song from our music library to set the tone for your video.
  4. Share your video with built-in tools, including downloading, hosted links, and direct social sharing.
