Create dynamic and original team member introductions by combining a thematic background from the PlayPlay library with automatic portrait cutouts! This tutorial shows you how to place photos of people directly into the frames of an illustrated background—such as a comic-book style layout—and add text labels for a highly visual, custom result.
Follow these steps to create a presentation featuring people against a thematic background:
Choosing a screen and finding a thematic background
Open a project in PlayPlay and click "Add screen."
Select a simple template (e.g., "Title 1").
Click on the default media, then select "Replace" to open the library.
Go to the "Stock" tab, navigate to the "Videos" section, and search for a specific theme (e.g., "comic book background").
Select the desired background and add it to the screen.
Importing and Integrating Photos
Import the photos of the individuals to be featured from your computer.
In the "Elements" tab, click "Add Media" and insert the first photo.
Adjust the size and position of the portrait so that it fits within the frame provided by the background.
Use the "Remove Background" option to automatically cut out the subject of the photo.
Repeat this process for the second photo in the other frame.
Adjusting Timing on the Timeline
Open the detailed timeline for the screen.
Adjust the start time and duration for each portrait to create a gradual appearance.
Adding Text Labels
In the "Elements" tab, add text boxes to introduce each team member (name and job title).
Customize the style, color, and placement of the labels above each person.
Finalization
Preview the sequence to ensure everything looks cohesive, then continue with the rest of your video editing.
