You can add one or several media over the content of your screens at a given moment in your video. It can be images (pictures, illustrations, or logos), videos or GIFs, for instance.
You can add them anywhere on the screen and choose when they appear and the duration for which they appear and also change their position, size, and rotation. Here's how you can do that!
To add a dynamic media to your screen:
- Go to the screen in which you want to add it and go to the Elements tab.
- Click on Add an element.
- Go to the Media section and upload your media. If you've already uploaded it into your media library, there's no need to re-upload it.
- Once your image is uploaded, you can click on its thumbnail to add it to the screen.
- If your dynamic media is a video, a window will open, allowing you to cut your video.
- Then, you can customize it:
- Change its animation:
-
- Change its position, size, and rotation directly in the screen preview on the right:

Once you're done, you can add other elements or close the dynamic element editor.
