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 either static images or simple animations, such as hats, glasses, creature features and other fun elements. VideoStudio tracks a person’s face in a video and maps 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. You can apply one or more stickers to each person detected in the clip.
VideoStudio comes with a library of AR stickers that are categorized by type. You can also import PNG image files or animated GIF files to create your own stickers. In most cases, files that you use for stickers should have a transparent background, leaving only the elements that you want to display.
