Image overlay

The most elaborate projects require complex solutions and artistic techniques. A regular sequence of visuals will hardly be impressive, so if you want to grab the attention of your audience, you’ll need to master at least basic tricks.

For example, you can add images to a video not in a sequence, but simultaneously, so that the picture with some additional information is always present on top of the recording. You can also add picture to picture, for example, to emphasize the "before/after" effect, or use one of the visuals as your watermark.

Clideo’s Video Editor can add an image to an MP4 video, as well as to any other visual, as it takes inputs in various formats. The tool works online in a browser, so compatibility is out of the question. The same service allows changing the project color scheme, orientation, crop option, playback speed, and many other settings.
