What is Media as a Sticker?
Media as a sticker allows you to create graphics from photos and videos in your camera roll. It’s another way to achieve multimedia content, but with freeform abilities.You can add multiple media stickers, control asset duration, make quality adjustments, and even remove the background of a sticker.
Add Media as a Sticker
Open the Slate Mobile App
Add in a piece of media from your 'Media' drawer
Click 'Graphics' and select the black and white image button in the top left of your graphics drawer
Choose any photo or video you wish to add as a sticker
This content will now be layered over your original media! To resize or move the media, tap on it and pinch in and out with two fingers to move around your workspace
Cropping and Adjustments
To make any adjustments to your media sticker, double tap on it in your workspace. Select 'Edit' from the menu options that pop up. In here, you can tap:
Delete: Selecting this will delete your media as sticker
Rotate: This will spin your image or video a perfect 90 degrees
Crop: Resize your image to a perfect 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or 16:9, quickly crop your media into a circle, or use freeform to create the perfect fit
Adjust: This will take you to photo editing settings! Control saturation, contrast, and much more on your image or video
Radius: Round the corners of your media by controlling the radius / roundness
Outline: Add an outline to your media by selecting a color and the width of the outline
Shadow: Add a drop shadow to your media by selecting one of three preset options, the color of the shadow and the intensity
Remove BG: This will remove your image's background and cut it out where the center focus is
