Styling Images

• Change the image Opacity, blur and border radius
• Adjust the image shadows on your scene.

To further edit your image, select the 3-dots in the upper right corner of the right-side menu:

• Crop: Crops the selected image to only display a subset of it when playing with its borders on the scene.
• Contain: Contains the selected image when playing with its borders on the scene.
• Cover: Covers the selected image to only display a subset of it when playing with its borders on the scene.
• +Add variable : Associate a given variable to this image. In a video all images that have the same variable name have their style updated together.
  Note: If your video is a template, control its content thanks to the API, especially when creating video from a given template. See the Guide: Create a video from template to discover how to leverage this feature.

• Stretch - The video is stretched by either speeding it up or slowing it down to fit the script.
• Play once - The video only plays once and then stops, regardless of the script length.
