Artikel-Zusammenfassung

Templates are basically reusable and editable projects. In other words, they are created from projects.

Once you have the VideoCreator Pro Editor open, go to the Settings tab and click 'Enable template functions'

After enabling template functions. You can select whether it'll become part of you custom template, e-commerce, or RSS.


Now add videos, photos, and text. Do this to your hearts content. If you are happy with the structure of your video, add some placeholders (this could be text, but also video or images) to be replaced.

Marking objects as a template object

If the placeholders are there, select a text, video or image object that you want to mark as a template object. Marking objects as a template object, allows you to replace the objects with new ones and automatically apply the previously used settings of the marked template object. Objects that you do not want to change you keep unmarked. Template object settings

We recommend marking only the necessary objects that you want to swap out for other objects. This will keep your template structured and organized.

For each type of object you select on the stage, you have additional settings that you can choose between.


Objects Behavior is a setting that applies to Texts, Images, and/or Sound Objects.


Text objects settings

  1. Behavior:

    1. Is required: This will make it mandatory that object must be replaced in order to create a project from the template

    2. Optional - keep placeholder: It will automatically use the placeholder object if there has no new object been added

    3. Optional - hide placeholder: It will automatically hide the placeholder object if no new object has been added

  2. Unique identifier: The name of the object that will be shown in the quick edit form. If left blank it will use a default name.

  3. Order: Determine the order of the template objects that will be shown next to the template
