Moving From Recording to Production
In the lexicon of video editing, layering media is the difference between simply 'Recording' and 'Production'. A raw clip shows what happened; a production explains why it matters.
Whether it's a logo in the corner, a screenshot of a tweet, or a 'Before' photo during an 'After' video—you need overlays (Picture-in-Picture). Typically, this requires multi-track editors with complex logic.
FlowVideo AI's tool simplifies this physics. We view your video as a canvas where you can drag any image, resize, rotate, and set exact timing as easily as an Instagram Story.
Why Add Pictures to Video?
Critical layering for viewer retention.
The Evidence Layer
Establish authority with 'Visual Citations'. When discussing facts or data, showing the actual graph or source image while you speak doubles the information density and credibility.
Branding & Protection
Content theft is rampant. Overlaying your transparent PNG logo 'signs' your work, ensuring your brand remains visible even if the video is ripped and reposted elsewhere.
The 'Reaction' Format
Create Show-and-Tell content by putting images exactly where you need them. Juxtaposing what you're talking about with a visual reveal creates engagement and clarity.
Smarter Mistake Covering
Accidentally film a license plate or messy room? Instead of an ugly blur, paste an aesthetic sticker or emoji to save the footage with style.

The Technology: Compositing Engine
How we stack pixels.
Alpha Channel Transparency
Upload a JPEG with a white background? Our AI can instantly convert it to a transparent PNG, letting your logo float cleanly over the video without an ugly white box.
Keyframe Interpolation
Make images slide, pop, or fade. Set start and end positions, and our engine handles the math for perfectly smooth motion across the screen.
Layer Blending Modes
Use Screen to add sparkles, Multiply for shadows, or Overlay for texture. Mix image opaicty to create subtle watermarks or cinematic film grain effects.
Layering Your Media
Compositing made simple.
Upload the Base Video
This is your background layer. We support up to 4K. The workspace canvas automatically adopts the video's aspect ratio.
Upload Overlay Images
Drag & drop PNG logos, screenshots, or stickers. You can stack unlimited layers and reorder them easily.
Position and Scale
Use corner handles to resize and the top handle to rotate. Smart Guides help you snap perfectly to the center or edges.
Timeline Timing
Adjust the duration bars on the timeline to control exactly when each image appears and disappears relative to the video.
Export (Hard Burn)
Render your video to 'burn' the images into the pixels. The result is a monolithic file with high-quality, sharp text and overlays.
Overlay Troubleshooting
Ugly White Box
Missing transparency channel.
Use the 'Remove Background' AI tool on your uploaded image.
Pixelated Image
Image resolution too low.
Upload a high-res PNG at least 1000px wide for crisp results.
Blocking Content
Scaling or position issue.
Drag the image to a corner and use the corner handles to scale down.
Timing Drift
Approximate placement.
Zoom in on the timeline to perform frame-perfect sync with audio cues.
