Using Frames with Uploaded Video
The animation team here at Biteable has added a new collection of scenes called Frames which allow you to put footage with audio into a stylized frame. Things like a tablet, a desktop computer, and even apple watches can all be the highlight point around a talking head or interview in your video.
This is how you add a Frame scene in Biteable Teams:
Open a video for editing or create a new one
Hit add, select the Branded Scenes folder
Select the category titled Media, and pick a frame
Click "Replace background" on the right and select/upload footage
Watch your video pop right into place
This is how you add a Frame scene if you're on any plan asides from Teams:
Open a video for editing or create a new one
Hit add, select the folder titled Frames, and pick a frame
Click "Replace background" on the right and select/upload footage
Watch your video pop right into place
Frames combine background footage and a foreground image (the frame), which can make them a little tricky to work with.
The frame element you see is an "image caption" with a transparent hole in the middle through which you can see your background upload. There are two ways to select the background upload:
Move the frame, click the background and resize as you need, then return the frame to match
Suggested method: Head down to the timeline and click in area that represents the background of the scene. This will select the background footage in your canvas.
The simplest approach (and likely the best) is to not change the positioning of the background footage or foreground frame. These scenes have been designed, formatted, and built so that you can pop in your own video and move on to the next scene without any need to edit.
