Image, video and captions
Logos and photos, embedded video clips, and the subtitle overlay that pairs with narration or an audio track.
Image layers
The Image layer places a logo, photo, or decoration on the canvas.
The Image panel carries Image Cropping and Image Opacity; Corner Radius, Shadow, Border, and Background Color panels handle the finish.
Image Cropping is the one to check first when an image looks wrong — it decides whether the image fits inside its box or fills it, which is usually the difference between a squashed logo and a correct one.
Data images
The Data Image panel is a genuinely powerful feature that is easy to walk past.
A data image switches automatically based on the chart's current date, a row's value, or its rank — so a medal changes as an entity moves into the top three, or an icon changes once a threshold is crossed.
Rank thresholds are 1-based, so "rank 3 or better" behaves as you would expect. This turns a static badge into something that responds to the data without any manual timing.
Video layers
The Video layer embeds a clip, with Volume, Corner Radius, and Video Cropping in its panel.
Useful for a talking-head introduction or background footage behind a chart — though for compositing a chart over existing footage, exporting as transparent WebP and editing elsewhere usually gives more control.
Captions
The Captions layer overlays subtitles, pairing with a video layer or an audio track.
Captions are worth adding as a habit rather than an afterthought. Most social video is watched without sound, so an uncaptioned narration reaches a fraction of its audience — and captions make content accessible to viewers who cannot hear it at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our logo looks stretched. What should we change?
Image Cropping. It controls whether the image fits inside its box preserving proportions, or fills the box and crops the overflow.
Can an image change during the animation?
Yes — either a Data Image, which switches on date, value, or rank thresholds, or an Image Sequence layer for a fixed series of images.
Should we add captions or narration first?
Narration first, since captions follow the script. Settle the wording before generating audio, because regenerating narration costs credits.
