Templates in the Socialive Editor make creating polished, on-brand videos faster and easier; no design or editing expertise required. Whether you're creating employee spotlights, product highlights, or executive updates, templates help you produce consistent, professional videos.
What Are Templates?
Templates are pre-built video layouts with customizable branding elements like logos, colors, styled subtitles, background music and graphics. They’re designed to help you quickly and efficiently create repeatable content types while staying within your brand guidelines.
Key Benefits
Brand Consistency Templates ensure all videos follow your organization’s brand identity, including fonts, colors, and logo placement.
Faster Turnaround Using ready-made layouts reduces the time spent editing. Just drop in your video and export.
Scalable Content Creation Templates make creating high-quality videos easy for anyone without needing a designer or video editor.
