How to Upload Your Own Materials to Promo

Boost brand awareness by adding your footage to your Promo videos. To upload your own photos and videos, follow these simple steps:

On the main page, click the “Upload” button to choose “Photo” or “Video”.

From the video editor, click on Media, then the “Upload” button in the upper left corner to upload your media and choose “Photos” or “Videos.”

The media is now added to your uploads. Hover over the media you want to use and click on “Use.” You will see the photo or video on your timeline and move it around to find the best position.

If you would like to add a custom track to your videos, you can easily upload your own mp3, wav, and m4a files as music or voiceovers. Keep in mind, tracks can be up to 5 minutes long. To upload your unique sound clip, follow these simple steps:

In the editor, click the “Choose music” button on the left side of the screen.

Once there, click the “Uploads” button at the top of the screen.

From there, you can click the button to add your clip and view previously uploaded tracks.

If your business has its own font or colors, we recommend uploading them to our editor. This will ensure all projects you create on Promo are on-brand. We support ttf, otf, woff and woff2 formats. To add a font, here’s what you should do:

Inside the editor, click the font style, then “My fonts,” and then “Add font,” and then “From Computer.”

Select your font from your desktop files. Voila! Your fonts are good to go.

No matter what you’re uploading, it’s important to pay attention to the quality of the content. If you’re uploading a picture or video, make sure the footage isn’t pixelated as it may end up hurting your ad or promotion. If you’re adding music or voiceovers, ensure the volume is accurate.

Using your own music in your projects is recommended! That being said, you should make sure you aren’t violating any copyright rules. Do this by getting permission from everyone who is a copyright holder, using tracks from a licensed source, and using Creative Commons music.

Whether you’re using a ready-made template and adding your brand’s font or creating a video using your own footage, you’ll want to make sure you add your watermark to every project to add a digital signature and increase brand recognition.

While you can create vertical, horizontal, and square videos with Promo, you’ll want to ensure the format of the photo or video is consistent with the aspect ratio chosen. Manually switch between aspect ratios in the “Editor” to see which one works best with your footage.
