Templates & Canvas
Start from a template, and set your canvas size, frame rate, and the beautify frame styling.
Templates
The Templates view is a browser for templates published elsewhere, sourced from the Artlist catalog. Search it, narrow it with the category chips, or filter by the app a template is built for — After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, Resolve, CapCut, or Canva. Each card shows a preview, a title, the creator, and its tags.
Browse only
There's no apply button. Templates are for the other app they were made in — the card's Open source link takes you to where you can get it. Nothing is imported into your composition.
Canvas size
A composition has a canvas, and you pick its shape from the presets:
| Preset | Size | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 16:9 | 1920 x 1080 | YouTube, landscape |
| 9:16 | 1080 x 1920 | Reels, TikTok, Shorts |
| 1:1 | 1080 x 1080 | Square posts |
| 4:5 | 1080 x 1350 | Feed posts |
| 4:3 | 1440 x 1080 | Classic |
| 21:9 | 2560 x 1080 | Ultrawide, cinematic |
| 2:3 | 1080 x 1620 | Pinterest, print |
A new composition starts at 16:9 (1920 x 1080). Frame rate is yours to set too: 24, 25, 30, 50, or 60 fps, defaulting to 30. The same view sets the canvas background color, alpha included.
Beautify
For talking-head and screen-recording videos, the Settings view has a beautify option that frames your video nicely: Padding from 0 to 100%, corner Radius from 0 to 80 px, Shadow from 0 to 1, and one of eleven gradient wallpapers behind it. It's the quickest way to make a raw screen capture look finished.
