Add Flower Images to the Background
The first step is to add flower images to the background.
- Tap the green Plus (+) icon.
- Select Media.
- Choose a flower image from your gallery and add it to the timeline.
Apply a 3D Effect
To create a 3D look:
- Select the flower image layer.

- Use the Z option from the X, Y, and Z controls.
- Set the first image to approximately 10,000.
- For additional flower layers, reduce the value by 2,000 or 3,000.
Repeat the same process for all flower images.
Add Blur to the Background
After applying the 3D effect:
- Select the image layer.
- Open Effects.
- Tap Add Effect.
- Search for Gaussian Blur.
- Apply the standard settings.
- Keep the blur strength low for a subtle effect.
This helps create depth in the background.
Add the Song
Before adding photos and lyrics, add the music track.

- Tap the Music option.
- Select your lyrical song.

Make sure the background has already been removed from the photo.
You can use five or more photos throughout the video.

The camera layer will be added across the timeline.
Trim the layer so that it covers only the required section of the video.

After pasting:

All previously applied effects and settings will remain unchanged.

The photo will automatically replace the previous one.
Repeat the process throughout the video until the entire 30-second project is completed.
