To layer a transparent background image on top of a video, first start by uploading your image. By clicking on this media icon on the left-hand side toolbar you can browse from thousands of images at the ready. Or you can go to my assets and upload an image directly from your assets by clicking, dragging, and dropping.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve selected your image. Go ahead and click on it and then click remove background, which is the eraser icon. Once your background is removed, you can go ahead and click drag around resize crop and edit your image. There you have it, a transparent background on top of a video.<\/p>\n

Once it’s the way you like it, just go to the top right-hand corner and click export. Make sure it’s set as a video and click export now.<\/p>\n
