AR Stickers
Celebrate holidays, special occasions, or simply add a little fun to your videos with AR Stickers (augmented reality image effects). AR stickers are image-based effects (hats, glasses, creature features and other fun elements) that track a person’s face in a video and map the AR sticker to the movement. For example, you can choose an AR sticker of sunglasses that will be added to a person’s eye area and move with them in the video. AR stickers work best when applied to a person who is facing the camera.
VideoStudio comes with a library of AR stickers that are categorized by type. You can also import PNG image files to create your own stickers. In most cases, PNG files that you use for stickers should have a transparent background, leaving only the elements that you want to display.
Note: If more than one person’s face is in the video, the AR sticker displays on whichever face is detected best in any given frame.

If you want to display the subcategories for AR Stickers, click the arrow to the left of AR Stickers.
2 Drag and drop the thumbnail for the AR sticker you want from the Library onto your clip in the Timeline.
Like other effects, you can apply more than one AR sticker to a selected video clip by unmarking the Replace Last Filter check box (Options panel > Effect tab).
