Videos

This section of our handbook is dedicated to guidance on how to create video/media assets for FlowFuse. Here you can find information on what types of videos we produce at FlowFuse and the templating and formatting we recommend for each.

Videos should be produced at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Check our branding guidelines for fonts, colors and logo versions.

We have a collection of assets that will make video editing and creation a lot simpler, particularly in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Assets

If you have an Adobe Creative Cloud account, and are a member of the FlowFuse team, then you will have access to the "FlowFuse Templates" library in Premiere Pro. This contains a collection of Essential Graphics templates, videos and audio files that can be used across any FlowFuse videos.

Essential Graphics Templates

These can be created in Adobe After Effects and provide an easy-to-use editable template for composition in Premiere Pro. We have a growing collection of FlowFuse templates that can be dropped and modified accordingly in your own FlowFuse videos.

Using Essential Graphics in Premiere Pro

Videos

Re-usable .mp4 files that may be used across FlowFuse videos. These are also available in "FlowFuse Templates" Premiere Pro Library. If you don't have access to the library and need the .mp4 files to use them in a different software, you can find them in the Video assets folder from our shared Drive.

Tools

If you require a license to one of the following tools (where applicable), then please read our licensing section in order to attain one.

Video Editing

  • After Effects enables the generation of videos and provides control of individual animated elements within a composition. Use this if you're looking to generate bespoke animations to use in your videos.

  • Premiere Pro - Use this when piecing together multiple bits of footage and existing FlowFuse templates. Premiere Pro is better for stitching existing compositions, for example, the opening/closing FlowFuse title sequences, either side of some demo footage.

Image Editing

  • Illustrator provides tooling to create templates that can ingested into After Effects. It's often easier to layout complex content in Illustrator, then export to After Effects for animation.

  • Photoshop can be used for raster image and photo-editing.
