Product placement

Edits app: (a) it ACTS — the creator operates its interface to perform a cutout effect on her video, which is the core demonstration of the video. Removing it would change the video entirely as the tutorial would not exist. Meta AI: (a) it ACTS — it is the specific AI tool visible within the Edits app interface that performs the cutout operation. Removing it would change the video as it is the functional tool being demonstrated.

Transcript

Have you ever wondered how to get text behind you like this? Well I'm going to show you how to do it in the Edits app. This is part two of How the Heck to Edit. I'm Candice, a stay-at-home mom studying content creation like it's my degree and sharing everything I learn so you don't have to. And follow along because I have a lot I want to go over. Let's get into it. Okay, so as you can see, I have my text already written on the screen. So I'm going to select my video and scroll over until you see the word Cutout. Click on that and hit Auto and let it process. And once that's complete, you'll see that it puts the cutout on the very top layer. Whatever is the top layer is going to dominate the whole screen. So now I just simply drag that below whatever I want to be in front of me. Just like that. I hope that helps. Save this to come back to and I'll see you in the next one.
