To edit one of our video templates, you need to open it in the corresponding software.
After Effects templates → Adobe After Effects
Premiere Pro templates → Adobe Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve templates → DaVinci Resolve
Apple Motion templates → Apple Motion (some may also open in Final Cut Pro)
Be sure to check the template description for the version of the software that it was created in for compatibility. Templates created in newer versions of a software may not work in older versions, so we recommend keeping your software up to date to avoid any issues.
Editing the template
Every template is different, but all of our video templates are designed to be customized. Many will include placeholders that allow you to swap in your own text, images, video, music, and more, or allow you to adjust settings to get the result you want.
When you download your template from Storyblocks, most will include a ReadMe file or video from the creator that has instructions on how to edit the template and adjust different settings.
Tip: Start with small edits to text, colors, and images to build your familiarity before you move on to advanced adjustments like timing or keyframes.
Building your skills
Templates require more familiarity with editing software beyond the basics, since motion graphics have more moving parts than standard video editing. You can learn more about using templates with our dedicated tutorials and official training resources:
