How do I add and remove footage after I've created my video?

After you've already created your video, you can add or remove footage from your story. Standard, Advanced, Pro, Business, Premium, and Enterprise subscribers can add footage from our extensive collection of stock footage as well.

Adding or remove footage (Web)

Adding footage to a draft video:

1. Open the Vimeo Create folder in the Videos tab.

2. Hover over the video you'd like to edit and click Edit video.

3. Click on Add scene and then on Media scene.

4. You will be taken to the Add photos and videos screen where you can choose to add media files from stock footage, Google Photos, or your own uploads. For instructions on how to upload with each platform, click on this article.

*Note*

• Vimeo Create supports all formats that are “natively” supported by iOS, Android and Windows OS:
  • Photo file types: JPG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PNG
  • Video file types: 3GP, AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, MTS, M2TS
• For files uploaded to Google Photos, there is a 'delay' time which if the clip has not been fully processed and is used will result in a lower quality image. Google Photos will require some time to fully process uploaded videos. Longer videos will take more time to completely process and analyze.

You can either choose to delete a piece of footage entirely from your video or hide it temporarily and then decide to show it again later.
