Adding Custom Color Cards

Color Cards are an exciting new way to add text to your video, perfect for Instagram Stories, breaking news updates, explainers and more.

To add Color Cards: If you haven’t collected any media yet, click on the ‘Add Color Card’ icon in your Lightbox or, if you’ve already added media to your Lightbox, hover over the pink ‘Search Media’ icon and then select ‘Color Card’ from the menu.

Adding a Color Card:

You have a variety of options for customizing your card.

1. 1. Your Brand: This row will contain cards consistent with your brand colors. These colors are added by your Wochit Video Strategist when your account is created. If the row is blank, please reach out to your Video Strategist, who will implement your standard brand colors as both color cards and also as the text overlay color presets. 
   2. Type in your Hex or RGB code into the fields to add a specific color.
   3. Choose between a Solid or Gradient Overlay. For Gradient color cards, click the green button with arrows to choose the direction of the gradient, and the slider to even out the distribution of the gradient coloring.
   4. Use the sliders below the color card to change the hue, saturation and lightness.
   5. Once you’re done customizing the color card, click ‘Add’ to close the overlay and send it to your Lightbox.

Note: By default, any edits you make to a color card in your Lightbox will apply the changes to all existing cards  of that color on the Timeline. You can switch this option off in the lower left hand corner of the overlay.
