How to Preview Your Video Draft

To preview your video, you must first have it in the Promo video editor. You can upload your own video, access it from your draft folder, or create a video from scratch using Promo.com’s 110M+ photos and videos powered by Getty Images and iStock.

While you are editing your video footage on the timeline, you can easily preview your work by clicking on the blue circle with the play arrow at the bottom left corner of the video timeline. In addition, you can use the blue scroll indication bar as it plays on the timeline to stop in specific places or move to different time markers to see what particular areas of footage you want to preview.

When your video is completely finished and ready to go, you can click the blue “Save & Preview” button on the lower left of the editor timeline. This is the opportunity to make sure everything is perfect before you download it. Once you click on Save & Preview, Promo.com will save your video and prepare your preview. Then you will have the option to share a link with a friend for feedback, customize further – which takes you back to the editor or publish it.

Once you’ve previewed your video and are happy, it’s time to publish. From the “Save & Preview” screen, click on “Publish,” which will take you to the publish page. From there, you can download your video to your device, post directly to social media, and more. Remember that once you use the “Publish” option, the premium clips you used in the video will be reduced from your Promo credits, but don’t worry, a pop-up window will let you know how many credits you’re about to use.
