Review notes

  • Source content is a release note rather than a true procedural article, so the steps are a conservative workflow for finding and using the newly released items.
  • No internal article URLs were provided, so related articles are suggested as plain titles only.
  • The original title was date-based and not task-based; it was rewritten for searchability and task orientation.
  • Availability is stated only where the source explicitly mentions license requirements.

Summary

Powtoon released a new Video Overlays category in Shapes and added new pre-made templates in October 2021. You can use these assets to speed up video creation and build different types of content faster.

Before you start

  • Make sure you have access to Powtoon Studio.
  • Check the template availability for your account before you start. Some templates require a Pro+ or Agency License.

Steps

  1. Open Powtoon Studio and start a new project or open an existing one.
  2. Go to the Shapes section and look for the new Video Overlays category.
  3. Add a Video Overlay to your video if you want a custom-designed visual layer.
  4. Review the available pre-made templates.
  5. Choose the template that matches your goal:
    • Breast Cancer Awareness Template: available for all users.
    • Brand Presentation: requires a Pro+ or Agency License.
    • Project Status Presentation: requires a Pro+ or Agency License.
  6. Select the template you want to use and customize it for your video.

What happens next

After you add a Video Overlay or start from a template, you can continue editing your video in Powtoon Studio. If a template is not available, check whether your account includes the required license.
