Static designs are fine; moving ones get watched. This page covers the three ways to bring imagery and motion into your video: images (including animated ones), slideshows, and background video.

Images

Click Image in the sidebar. You can source images from:

• Upload - your own JPG, PNG, or GIF files
• Generate - AI image generation (uses image credits)
• Pixabay - free stock photo search
• Giphy - animated GIFs and stickers
• Your library - anything you've uploaded or generated before

Every image gets fit-to-width/height, alignment, layering, and locking controls, plus the same "Appears" timing as text.

Animated images

Animated images (GIFs and stickers) have a Playback setting:

• Loop - the animation repeats for the whole video.
• Play once - the animation plays a single time, then the image disappears. Combine it with the "Appears" control (at the start, in the last 5 or 10 seconds, or a custom moment) for one-shot effects eg a sticker that pops in on your punchline and vanishes.

Slideshows

A slideshow cycles through multiple images over the length of your audio. Click Slideshow in the sidebar (one slideshow per design) and step through the generator:

Step 1: Choose a timing mode:

• Divide evenly - the video's duration is split equally across your images.
• Loop - each image shows for a fixed duration, then the sequence repeats.
• Align with speakers - one image per speaker; the slideshow switches as the speaker changes (requires a transcription).
• Beat matched (Beat Mode only) - images change on the beat, with a minimum gap you control.

Step 2: Pick your images - upload, AI-generate, Pixabay, or your library (animated images can't be used in slideshows).

Step 3: Set the look - cover or contain fit, and a transition: Fade, Wipe left/right, Slide (all four directions), Zoom in, Zoom out, with adjustable duration.

After creating it, the slideshow's edit panel lets you reorder, add, and remove images, tweak per-image timings, and open the timing editor to drag slide boundaries against the audio waveform.

Background video

Under Background you'll find, alongside solid and gradient colours:

• Ready-made video loops matched to your canvas size.
• Get background videos - upload your own (MP4, WebM, or MOV; you must have the rights to use them), reuse previous uploads from your library, or search Pixabay.

You can also generate a background video from an image with the video generation wizard.

The number of background videos you can keep uploaded depends on your plan - the app shows your current count and limit.
