How To Add Your Designs

Follow these steps to add your designs to the Photoshop smart layer.

1. First you need to open the timeline. Go to Window > Timeline. This shows a window at the bottom so you can see the layers. 

You will see the video layer at the bottom and the smart layer (highlighted in red) above. Make sure that these layers are the same length. You can play the video by clicking the play button in the timeline.

2. Double click on the thumbnail of the ‘Add Design Here’ layer (highlighted in red). This will open a new tab in Photoshop.

3. In the new tab, click File > Place Linked, select your design and click ‘Place’. Scale the image so it fills the blank space and once you are happy with the image position go to File and then click Save. You can then close this tab.

You will then see that your design is now placed in the correct position. To edit the image again, simply repeat the above.

Extra Options

There is also an option to toggle on/off the notch on the screens. Simply toggle on/off the Notch layer.

Depending on your design you may need to adjust the brightness of the screen. Simply adjust the opacity slider of the 'Design' smart layer.

Export Video

To export the video go File > Export > Render Video. Select your settings. We recommend as high resolution as possible. Unfortunately Photoshop does not allow 4K export so select HD 1080 x 1920px.
