Video Content

There are several ways to add videos to your designs:

  • Search and select royalty-free stock videos

  • Upload videos from your computer

  • Select existing videos from your Media Library

Accessing Stock Videos

From inside Designer, click on Media to bring out the media sidebar. Scroll down to the section labeled Stock Videos.

Use the Search bar next to the Stock Videos tab to search for through the different kinds of stock videos you can add to your design.

Upload Videos

At the top of media sidebar you drag video files directly into the gray hotspot directly. Alternatively, you can also click choose files to locate and select the file using file explorer or finder if that is preferred.

Select Video from Brand Kit

From the Media sidebar any videos you have already uploaded will appear here alongside your other images and files you've uploaded to your Brand Kit.

Adding Videos

Click on a video to add it to your canvas.

Resize Video

By default videos added to your canvas are set to Fit to Canvas.

Click Fill Canvas to scale the video up to fill the entire canvas.

Adding Elements and Text

You can add elements, text, and other images on top of the videos on your canvas.

For social networks that Blaze has integrations with (Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, Pinterest), you will have the option to schedule and select the platforms you wish to publish too directly from the Designer via the Post tab.

Click Posting on to reschedule the post.
