How to manage Video settings in Visme

Once a video is added to your design in Visme, you have several options for how the video will be displayed in your project. Learn more on how to set your preferences:

General Settings

Select the video and click on the “Settings” button located at the top left to find options for how you want the video to be displayed.

Turn ON/OFF the switch in the different options available (Show control bar, muted, autoplay, and looped) according to your preferences:

When activating the auto-play setting, the video will start automatically when accessing the slide. It only allows two videos to autoplay at a time.

Trim

To trim the video, select the video and then click on the “Trim” button at the top left corner.

Then, use the timeline at the bottom to select the desired clip. To finish, click on the “Done” button.

Trim or Split your video from the Animation Timeline

The Animation Timeline allows you to precisely customize the animations of your project from the Basic and Advanced tabs.

Trim your video

From the editor window of your project, navigate to the top left menu above the sidebar and select “View Settings”. Then, turn the “Animation Timeline” switch on from the dropdown menu.

Select the video object in the design or within the timeline view. Then, you can right-click and open a menu to select “Trim”. You can trim the video by dragging any of the sliders at the beginning or end of your video in the Animation Timeline to trim into specific areas of the video you wish to have shown in the duration of the slide.

Split your video

From the editor window of your project, navigate to the top left menu above the sidebar and select “View Settings”. Then, turn the “Animation Timeline” switch on from the dropdown menu.

Select the video within the timeline view and right-click on the video where you want to split it. Then, select “Split Video”. The video will be divided into two parts in the Animation Timeline.

To ensure your video is exactly as you want it, use the sliders on the laterals to trim the video and get your preferred scene.

Animation

To animate your video, select the video and then click on the “Animate” button at the top right corner.

Select one of the various animation presets in the dropdown to simplify the animation process. For example, if you want your video to move left at two seconds, from the “Enter” tab you will choose “Fly from Left” and then input 2 for 2 seconds.

Opacity

To adjust the opacity of the video, select the video and then click on the “Effects” button at the top right corner.

Drag the opacity slider rightward to set the exact percentage of transparency you want, or set a specific value in the box.
