Creating a Video Using the Inspiration Gallery

Overview

The Inspiration Gallery is a curated collection of prebuilt videos designed to help you jump-start your creative process in SundaySky. Instead of starting from scratch, you can browse videos tailored to different industries, goals, channels, data usage, and design styles. Each video serves as a starting point that you can customize to match your specific needs. Beginning with a video from the Inspiration Gallery enables you to quickly create and customize a professional-looking video. With a variety of use cases available, the gallery makes it easy to choose a video that fits your purpose.

2. In the Video Library, click Inspiration Gallery in the left sidebar.
3. In the Inspiration Gallery, browse videos or select one of the five main categories: Industry, Goals, Channels, Data Usage, or Look & Feel.

Helpful Tips

1. By default, the video is named after the title you selected from the Inspiration Gallery. To rename the video, see Renaming a Video for instructions.
2. The brand used in the video you choose is copied to your account and automatically selected. By default, the brand name matches the video name.
You can edit all brand components — logo, colors, text styles, and button style — or choose a different brand altogether.
▶ For detailed instructions, jump to the step-by-step articles related to the brand.
3. To read a short description of the scene's topic (intent), double-click the scene name in the line-up. The description — visible only to you —  is displayed in the Notes field and can be edited.
