Snappic

How to create a new template in Snappic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUWLgXL4xdA&t=62s

Snappic VideoFX:

MP4 Overlay or APNG

  1. Pick a Template from the Template Library or Create a New Template.
  2. Resolution: Check to see which orientation you ordered. Square, Landscape or Portrat. Select whichever one you picked. 
  3. Drop either MP4 Overlay or APNG into the Overlay Section. 
  4. Click on Timeline
  5. Here is the tricky part: Depending on the template you pick you may have to adjust the playback range times in the Timeline. While changing these times keep an eye on the Total Time on the right side. 
  6. Click Save and have a great event. 

MP4 Mask

  1. Pick a Template from the Template Library or Create a New Template
  2. Resolution: Check to see which orientation you ordered. Square, Landscape or Portrat. Select whichever one you picked. 
  3. Click on Timeline.
  4. Click on Add
  5. Add the “App Recorded Video”
  6. Click on “Build a custom effect”
  7. Give the template a name. Example: Masked Overlay
  8. Check “Save To Effect Library”
  9. Click on “Add effect”
  10. Click on “Masked Overlay”
  11. You will have two files. One that is design and the other that is called “masked” in the file name. Place the visual design in the “overlay” section. Place the black and white video into the “Clipping Mask” section. 
  12. Click Save
  13. Here is the tricky part: Depending on the template you pick you may have to adjust the playback range times. While changing these times keep an eye on the Total Time on the right side. 
  14. Depending on the effects you pick you may have to have multiple masked overlays to create the one long animated overlay. The easiest way is to pick one effect like Slow Motion then run the video for the entire length of the effect. If you need more than 3 effects then a 30 second video would need to be cut into Three 10 second mp4 mask with a total of 6 files. We would need to make this decision during the ordering process. Otherwise, you could use a video editing software to trim and make the extra videos. 
  15. Click Save and have a great event.
