The Add Stickers to Video tool lets you add different stickers to your video project. You can move them and change their size, as well as adjust other settings.
Create your project
To create your project, do the following:
- Go to the Add Stickers to Video tool.
- Click Get started, and create your project using your own files (video, audio, images), the in-built stock libraries with audio, video, images, GIF files, stickers, emojis, and shapes, or record your own video, audio, or screen recording.
Add sticker
To add a sticker to your project, do the following:
- In the navigation bar, click Elements.
- In the Elements section, select one of the most popular stickers in the Stickers section. To open the Stickers section, click the section title or See all link.
- Click the sticker to add to the project. Scroll down to see all the stickers or click the search icon, and type keywords into the search field to find the sticker you need.
Move sticker
To move the sticker, on the canvas, hold and drag it to place it anywhere on the canvas.
Overlay sticker
The order of the tracks in the timeline determines the visibility of the video, image, and other elements in the video. The elements located in the top tracks of the timeline overlap the elements located in the underneath tracks.
To change the order of the element and create an overlay, select the element, and then do one of the following:
- Click and drag the selected element to the new position in the timeline.
- At the top-left of the timeline, click the Bring Forward or Send Backward icons to move the selected element up or down.
- Press Ctrl + ↑ / ⌘ Command + ↑ or Ctrl + ↓ / ⌘ Command + ↓ on your keyboard.
Transform sticker
To transform the sticker, click the Transform tab and then do one of the following:
- To fill the entire canvas with the sticker, scale, and crop it if required, click Fill.
- To fit the entire sticker without cropping within the canvas, click Fit.
- To make the sticker proportionally smaller or larger on the canvas, click and drag the corner handles in or out.
- To flip the sticker, in the Flip & Rotate section, click the Vertical or Horizontal flip icons.
- To rotate the image, in the Flip & Rotate section, click the Rotate icon or use the plus and minus buttons to specify the rotation angle. Alternatively, on the canvas, click the Rotation handle at the bottom of the yellow rectangle and rotate the sticker manually.
Adjust sticker
To adjust sticker color settings, click the Adjust tab and drag the sliders to change image opacity, brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and add a blur effect. To return the settings to default, scroll this section to the bottom and click Reset.
Change speed
To slow down or speed up animated stickers, click the Speed tab and drag the slider to set a custom speed or select one of the speed presets 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25, 1.5, or 2.
Change timing
Each element in the project has specific start and end timestamps. The element appears or is heard in your video within that timeframe.
To change the timing of the sticker, select its thumbnail in the timeline, and then do one of the following:
- In the timeline, drag the element to the new place without changing its duration, or drag the yellow handles of the element to change both the timing and duration.
- In the element's settings section, click the Timing tab and set the start and end timestamps manually.
Change duration
Each element in the project has a certain duration. The element appears in your video for as long as it lasts in the timeline.
To change the duration of the sticker, select its thumbnail in the timeline, and then do one of the following:
- In the timeline, drag the yellow handles of the element to specify the required duration.
- In the element's settings section, click the Duration tab and enter the required duration or select one of the duration presets. Use the -/+ buttons to gradually decrease or increase the value.
Remove sticker
To remove the sticker from the project timeline, select its thumbnail, and then do one of the following:
- At the top-left of the timeline, click the Delete icon.
- Press Delete or Backspace on your keyboard.
The file will be removed from your project but will stay in the Media section.
