Biteable tutorial

Step 1 – Getting Started

- First of all, you’re going to need to decide what the purpose is for your video. You can choose from a number of templates.

- Alternatively, you can simply hit the “start from scratch” button if you want to customise your own. 

- Each video template comes with an example video. They’re really good as they help you to understand what a  video or presentation should look like – so give them a watch first!

Step 2 – Designing Your Frames 

- Once you’ve chosen one of the five templates from the creation screen, you’ll see that your scenes (or frames) have been selected by default. These can easily be changed and modified by clicking the drop-down arrow in the top-right corner of any of the scenes on your timeline, you can swap them out for any others already in Biteable’s extensive database.

- After clicking the “Switch scene” or “add another” button, you’ll get your first glimpse at the many categories of templates, images, footage and effects that Biteable has to offer.

- There are 28 categories of different scenes to choose from, with more in another section which you can upload your own company logos, too. Many of the templates allow you to customise the frame with your own text, like the one used here as an example. Some of the frames allow you to upload your own images and logos: these are clearly labelled, like this one (they’re really useful for the opening/closing frame!)

Step 3 – Colour

- Some of the frames that you’ve chosen might have customisable colour schemes, like this one:

- In the “colour” tab (next to “timeline”), you can change the colour scheme.

IMPORTANT! I strongly recommend that you double-check the colour scheme you’ve picked before you build your final video. You might not be able to see the text, for example!

Step 4 – Audio

- Audio is an element that can make or break your video, so you need to spend some time testing different tracks/sounds to make sure you get the right one.

There’s a number of things you can do.

- Biteable has a library of tracks, ranging from ambient, calm music to heavy electronic music.

- If you feel like one of these sounds is suitable, great. Go for it. If not, you could always upload an mp3 file of your own track!

Step 5 – The End!

- Once you have done all of that, you simply hit the preview button to see if what you made is OK for you , if it is then you’re done!

- You can then download the file to your computer!
