# Video cover

## Introduction

A video cover serves as a professional introduction to your screencasts in **Clevera**. It provides viewers with immediate context through titles and branding before the actual demonstration begins, making your content more engaging and easier to identify.

## Opening Video Cover Settings

To begin customizing your video intro, you first need to access the **Video Cover** creation menu from the **Timeline** area of the **Clevera** editor.

1. In the **Timeline** sidebar on the right, locate the **+** (Add) button situated above your first scene block.
2. Click the **+** button to open a small dropdown menu.
3. Select **Video Cover** from the available options. This will transition the editor to the **Cover Settings** view.

> ℹ️ **Info:** Adding a **Video Cover** automatically inserts it at the very beginning of your project's timeline.

## Customizing the Cover Background

Once in the cover settings, your first step is to establish a background that matches your brand or the theme of your video. You can choose from three background types: **Color** (a solid hue), **Gradient** (a multi-tonal blend), or **Image** (a custom upload or stock photo).

***

### Adding a Title

The title is typically the name of your tutorial or the main topic. Use the tools in the sidebar to style it:

* **Font Style:** Select a typeface (like Inter) from the dropdown.
* **Size and Weight:** Choose **Bold** and adjust the font size (e.g., 48) to make it stand out.
* **Positioning:** Use the 3x3 grid in the **Position** area to place your text at the center, top-left, or bottom-right of the screen.

### Enabling the Description

If you need more space for context, toggle the **Description** switch to ON. This adds a smaller text block below the main title where you can type your summary, such as `some description here`.

## Branding with Logos and Animations

Make your video cover uniquely yours by adding your brand's **Logo** and selecting smooth **Animations** for how the cover appears and disappears.

### Adding your Logo

Including a logo is key for professional content. Here’s how to do it:

![Selecting a logo from the media library](https://d14xczjzvlshjn.cloudfront.net/screencasts/scrcst_b0nvro2xqdyjhf6i/processed/article_images/article-scrcst_b0nvro2xqdyjhf6i-184-marked-0075d00d-aa80-4119-a8ee-ece975d9ed91.jpg?Expires=1806137010\&Signature=i9vjqtMb4Bup0f9l5mHez~SEQEuK~1FzpJxtkEn~9gZXoiOEB2ECmtnuSM6U~v9IykSp10xV8QPG-5w-7I3FzLXj-NFqh66kp5Py85KX3gV8XZ5f1Tx87ORnXmvOnzzFmUxxUHWGfEkr8O89wnweZfh209jTsoP~2xP5IC~iJgBAw8KQc692lV3T7pyoVVDLuTycS7yJ5s8aknZJ6cMLT0lxiiXvT7jl1SItkx~nCM-q0dC0manRyA33KEGHqzccBF3PfwXMcTg3YrHdmexBrOsES717IIudE31za6XQ4KU2zVf1EZhRw4oZLvS03OQUilkli-33xeK5eMHZkbPAg__\&Key-Pair-Id=APKA26BID7YIZU7LYRQT)

### Applying Entrance and Exit Animations

Animations make the transition into your content feel polished. You can set individual **Animations** for both the start and end of the cover's duration:

* **Enter Animation:** How the cover appears (e.g., **Elegant**).
* **Exit Animation:** How it fades out to reveal the first scene (e.g., **Mask Outward**).

## Setting Intro Music and Saving

The final step in creating your video cover is selecting the perfect audio accompaniment and saving your changes to the project.

### Selecting Intro Music

Intro music plays exclusively over your cover page and smoothly fades out as your first scene begins. To choose a track:

1. Click the **Select intro music** field.
2. Browse the list of available cinematic and ambient tracks (e.g., *Engine Slow Spinning Whoosh*). Press the play icon to preview a song.
3. Once selected, adjust the **Duration** slider below the music field to define how long the intro should last before revealing your screencast.

### Saving your Cover

After you’ve fine-tuned your background, text, logo, and audio, click the **Save Cover** button at the top right of the settings panel. Your project will now update, and the new **VIDEO COVER** block will be visible at the start of your project's timeline.
