Everything you need to finish a video, nothing you do not.
Visual Ideas is built around a small set of ideas rather than a wall of buttons: a slide is a frame, a frame holds blocks, and every block can be placed, timed and styled. The pages below take one idea at a time and explain what it is for, where it shows up in a finished video and how to use it.
You do not need to read them in order. If you are new, start with animated slides and export, then come back for the rest.
Animated slides
A slide is one frame of the video. Arrange text, pictures and shapes on it, give each piece an entrance, and the slide becomes the scene.
Read about it →Device scenes
Upload a screen recording or a scrolling screenshot into a prepared device scene, and the app fits it to the screen with the right perspective.
Read about it →Animation, timing and layers
Every block has its own entrance, loop and exit. Layers decide what covers what, so a title can sit over a picture without fighting it.
Read about it →Music, voiceover and sound effects
Pick one of the two built-in ambient tracks or upload your own, add a voiceover, and place sound effects on the moment they belong to.
Read about it →Brand profiles
Save a palette and a logo as a profile, then apply it to a new video so every clip looks like it came from the same place.
Read about it →Export for social media
Export an MP4 at the size the platform wants — portrait for Reels and Shorts, landscape for YouTube and LinkedIn — with no watermark.
Read about it →Avatar and lower thirds
Add a round presenter clip and a name-and-title bar to a video, so a talking-head clip or a quote carries who is speaking.
Read about it →Effects
Sparkles, ripples, confetti, light sweeps, particles and vignettes — decoration that animates on its own and stays out of the way of the text.
Read about it →Backup and privacy
Projects are ordinary folders on your computer. Back them up like any other document, and nothing you edit is sent to a server.
