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.

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.
