Tips & Best Practices

Search with Specific Keywords

Use specific keywords when searching the stock library. Instead of "nature", try "forest aerial view" or "ocean sunset" for more relevant results.

Match Format to Platform

For TikTok and Reels, use 9:16 portrait format. For YouTube, use 16:9 landscape. Choose the right format before adding media.

Preview Before Adding

Click on stock media items to preview them before adding to your timeline. This saves time and keeps your project organized.

Organize with Multiple Tracks

Layer different media types on separate timeline tracks. Keep your video on one track, overlays on another, and audio on its own for easier editing.
