Understanding the two elements of video templates in the Vloggi user-generated video software platform

The Vloggi templated video system is built on two integral components:

1. Video Layout template

• The essence of individual clips within a project is encapsulated in the Video Layout. This pertains to the data fields overlaid onto the clips, offering versatility for various purposes. For instance, it could feature the contributor’s name for content creator attribution or include both the contributor’s name and company for corporate testimonials. The data fields to be burned into each clip are defined in the template selected during the project launch. In the Video Layout tab within the Plan section, users can modify these fields, incorporating transparent logo files as watermarks and selecting specific prompt answers to be displayed as burned-in overlays.

2. Video Story template

• The second element involves stitching together individual clips, complete with their burned-in data overlays. This process transforms the collection of clips into a cohesive narrative through the Video Story Template. Here, users can sequence the clips, apply transitions, integrate music, and incorporate intros and outros. The Video Story Template represents the final stage in the creation process, providing a structured and polished compilation ready for rendering and sharing.

By understanding and manipulating these two elements, users can harness the full potential of Vloggi’s templated video system, efficiently producing dynamic and engaging video content.

How to set up your video templates and create a master video template for automated video production

1. Selecting a project Video Layout template

   • When setting up your project, choose a pre-set template from the options or select “Start from scratch” for a blank template. This template will typically include your branding elements, such as a watermark logo, colors, and fonts. Note that your exact font may be substituted, so check your branding in the “Branding” tab.

2. Data overlays and compilations:

   • The compilation tool utilizes data overlays present in the clips’ Video Layout settings. Check the “Video Layout” tab of the project to see which data is overlaid, such as the contributor’s name or location.
