Adding a picture on top of an existing video in replay

Hi guys, I have a video file where we have an logo in the first part of the file that cannot be shown in the training material. Is there a way of adding a "blur" picture or something similar on top ...

Hello ServiceNow Projektet,

Happy to help!

One way to hide a section of your video from your learners is to overlay a shape on top of the video and adjust the shape in the timeline so that it is only visible for a certain amount of time. In the example below, I added a shape covering the top left part of the video that will only be visible from 3s of the video until 7s.

You'll want to experiment with the 'Format Shape' option to select the shape fill which works best for you.

      Hi MarianaEscrzaga​!

      Happy to help!

      Replay 360 does not currently support adding a "blur" effect or image overlay directly on top of an existing video, in the way you might expect from third party video editing software. If you're open to using Storyline for this type of design, the workaround Joe shared may be worth exploring.

      Please let me know if you need anything else!

        Hi Steven!

        I'm exploring to do it in Storyline while syncing my blur rectangles in the timeline. The only issue is, my video has pause and play buttons that are triggered; yet, the timeline still continues to move despite pausing the video. Does this make sense?
