How to Choose a Template

 

Templates refer to premade use cases available within Hour One and have their own unique bank of layouts. They come with media already in the scenes, making it quick and easy to create videos. Instead of creating a video from scratch, now you can simply click on a template you like and edit its contents.

How to Access and Use Pre-Made Templates

Click on 'Templates' in the left-hand menu bar, ‘Template’ within the middle of the dashboard, or 'New Video' in the top right-hand corner of the dashboard to access the templates library. Here, you can choose from a growing selection of professionally designed, easy-to-use customizable templates.

To make its navigation more accessible, the templates have been organized into several distinct categories called use cases. Using the category bubbles at the top of the template page, you can filter different categories including the template size to find the best template for your needs:

Once you’ve clicked on a template, you’ll be shown a playable video sample of what this template might look like in action. If you like what you see, simply fill in the video name and choose the desired folder you would like to categorize the draft (if you created folders ahead of time). Then simply select ‘Use Template’.

All of the editable elements of the video — presenter selection, voice selection, scenes, script, media, colors, etc. — are already prefilled, and require only minimal modifications to be made in order to personalize its contents. Templates greatly simplify the creation process and help you produce a great-looking video. There is no need to create one from scratch!
