Videoleap | Using Templates

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the "templates" feature in Videoleap, guiding you on how to utilize pre-made templates effectively for your own creative projects.

Getting Started

Upon opening the application, you'll find yourself on the templates home screen. Here, the bottom left corner indicates the creator of the template. For example, a template created by the Videoleap team is likely to be high-quality and engaging.

For this tutorial, let's choose a user-uploaded template. You can find it easily by browsing through the options available. Once you've selected a template, you may want to unmute the audio to appreciate the accompanying soundtrack.

Choosing Your Clips

As we review the template, we'll notice that the first clip contains movement while the subsequent clips are stationary images. To keep the flow and mood consistent with the original, aim to replicate this structure.

To use a template, click on the "Use Template" option in the bottom right corner. Then, navigate to the folder where your images are stored. For example, selecting my macro photography collection in the Cotswolds offers a lovely prospect for this project.

Ensure to select a total of 10 clips to match the structure of the original template, as indicated in the bottom left section of the interface. While selecting your clips, remember that the first image should ideally exhibit some form of movement—consider options like zooming or rotating. After selecting your images, click "Next."

Creating Your Video

Now that you've introduced your clips into the template, take a moment to appreciate that the soundtrack has been automatically attached along with the recommended transitions. When working with transitions, be cautious: differing transition durations can affect your timing, potentially throwing off the entire rhythm of your video.

To edit clips, commence with the first image. Here, we’ll introduce movement through keyframes. By pinching and adjusting the scale, we can create an initial keyframe, then move to the end of the composition to finalize the zoom effect.

As you proceed with the remaining clips, resize and reposition them as needed. If you'd like to add additional movement, utilize keyframes again. However, it's advisable to keep usage minimal to preserve the template’s original beat and transition flow.

Final Tips and Future Tutorials

A vital takeaway is to maintain the integrity of the transitions and keep the duration of each clip consistent. Mismanagement may disrupt the timing and flow, resulting in a video that feels disjointed.

In upcoming tutorials, we will detail how to create your templates using beats within Videoleap and how to incorporate video clips effectively—enabling you to produce high-quality content for social media platforms.
