- Adding smartphone or computer mockups to videos is perfect
for brand promotions, demonstrating apps,
and social media content sharing.
With VEED's simple online video editor,
they're super easy to make.
And in this video, I'm gonna show you how
you can create your own mockup video in just a few minutes.
So when you're on VEED's website,
you can instantly open a new project.
Now, VEED has a dedicated template list filled
with video templates featuring mockups of iPhones, laptops,
and other devices integrated into them.
You can easily start with one of those
which are also completely customizable within the editor.
For instance, you can leave the mockup intact
and only replace the visuals and text
in and around the mockup
to make it fit your creative vision.
So that's a great option.
But in this video, we're gonna start from scratch,
so you see how easy it is to set up your mockup video.
So first things first,
how do you add a mockup to your video?
To find it, we'll head over to Elements in the sidebar menu
and scroll down until we can find the mockup section.
Once you find it, click on view all
to see the entire list of mockup images.
As you can see, there's a wide variety
of free mockups of iPhones, Android phones, Macs, MacBooks,
and other laptops, smartwatches, browser tabs,
and even mockups of smartphones held by hands.
When you find one you like,
simply click on the mockup to add it to your project.
When your mockup is added to the project,
you can easily crop, resize, rotate,
and reposition your mockup in the video canvas.
In the bottom timeline, menu, extend,
shorten and reposition the layer.
And in the mockup editing menu,
you can even add some captivating one-click animations
to make your mockup even more intriguing for your video.
So this is how you easily add a mockup to your video.
Now, let's create a cool and simple design
and briefly go over some of the key features while doing so.
For this example, we'll be going
for a clean podcast promo video for an Instagram story.
First thing we're gonna do
is head over to the sidebar menu and head over to settings.
Here you can easily change the video background
by changing the color or uploading your own.
Additionally, you can change the aspect ratio
of your mockup video in one click, for instance,
for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or other platforms.
Of course, in this case, we're gonna go for Instagram story.
All right, so next, as you can see,
the iPhone mockup is looking a little bit empty,
so let's add a solid background within the screen as a base.
To make this happen,
we'll head over to Elements and find shapes.
In this case, we're gonna go for a rounded square
which we can easily recolor, resize, and reshape.
Make sure the shape is just a little bit smaller
than the mockup and right-click on it in the video canvas
to be able to put it behind the iPhone mockup
so it will fit nicely.
You can also click and drag the layers under
or over one another to achieve the same effect.
You can even multi-select or group the layers
to be able to simultaneously resize or reposition them.
So now we have a solid background for the mockup.
Next, let's import a picture for our podcast promo.
Simply click on add media in the timeline menu
to find the upload button to be able to import pictures
or videos from your desktop into the editor.
In this case, I imported a picture of me,
which I'll place at the top of the mockup screen.
I'll even round the corners
of my image a little bit and add a subtle animation
for a smooth and dynamic effect.
So that's that. Now, we need some text.
In the sidebar menu, head over to text
in which you'll find a list
of great-looking text presets you can choose from.
In a very intuitive way,
You can make adjustments to your text
to make it to your liking.
You can go as far as adding as many text layers
as you prefer and even add some nice animations
if you want to.
It's starting to look pretty cool,
but we're missing some icons and stickers.
So let me show you how you can add those.
When you head over to Elements,
you'll find an incredible list
of different visuals you can add to your mockup video.
For instance, there's a section
in which you can find brand icons
which could be helpful if you want to plug your socials
or showcase where people can watch
or listen to your content.
And also, for instance, in the animated sticker tab,
you can type in keywords in the search bar
and find thousands of animated stickers
you can add to your video.
Feel free to get creative and try to find some elements
that compliment your amazing mockup video.
Now, we're almost finished.
But as a final touch, I want to make
the background a little bit more dynamic.
We can do this by heading over
to VEED's building video stock library
in which you can search for thousands of different videos.
In this case,
we want to have something subtle for the background.
So when you find one, click on the file,
and it will be instantly added to your project
I'm gonna right-click it to add it to the back of the video
and I wanna make it blend with the background color.
So all I do is adjust the opacity a little bit
to give the mockup video a subtle dynamic look.
And that's it, so now you have your mockup video.
If you're satisfied, you can click on done
to export your video, so you can proudly share it
on your socials for your audience to enjoy.
So that's how you create a mockup video.
I hope this video was helpful.

Good luck, I'll see you next time.
